Always funny seeing the way we're all portrayed, we all enjoyed it. The bike-continuity is the best bit ... sometimes bullhorns, sometimes risers and so on. less cliches than i would have thought, just an improbable trash film where the chases are done on a bike. The visualising how to get through junctions thing is pretty cheesy too (cannot be explained, needs to be seen).</p> <p>Felt a bit like a straight to dvd film however, but i liked danny Mac's bits. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8444#post-84752 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 12:22:18 +0000 chdot 84752@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/7991399452/"><img src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8301/7991399452_27002a1e38.jpg"></a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chdot/7991399452/">Show times</a> </p> <p>Until Thursday (at least) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8444#post-84751 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 12:16:42 +0000 ExcitableBoy 84751@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was at the cinema with my wife on Friday and we went to see this, based soley on there being a bike in the poster. It was enjoyable, thanks to the cycling. Well worth it if youhave chldren of a suitable age I'd have thought (although there was one incident whose tone felt out of keeping). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8444#post-84750 Sun, 16 Sep 2012 11:04:56 +0000 Zenfrozt 84750@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I went to see 'Premium Rush' at the cinema last night and really enjoyed it.</p> <p><strong>Premium Rush (2012)</strong><br /> <strong>Director:</strong> David Koepp<br /> <strong>Cast:</strong> Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Michael Shannon and Dania Ramirez </p> <p><strong>Synopsis from IMDB:</strong>In Manhattan, a bike messenger picks up an envelope that attracts the interest of a dirty cop, who pursues the cyclist throughout the city.</p> <p><strong>Review:</strong>To my mind this is a little gem of a movie that I fear won't get the attention it deserves. At its heart it is a fast paced action film with stunning stunt work and reasonable dialogue.</p> <p>Over the course of the film - a number of back-stories are played out, working backwards from the opening scene. I normally loathe films that jump around in a timeline but Premium Rush surprised me and succeeded in utilising this technique without overly complicating things.</p> <p>The characters are likeable and nicely rounded and the film manages to show both the friendly rivalry between the messengers and the brother/sisterhood that risking your neck on the streets of New York can produce.</p> <p>Premium Rush doesn't take itself too seriously and if you're after a fun evening out, I don't think you can go too wrong with this film. Look out for the comedic antics of the NYPD bike cop.</p> <p>All in all I would give this film a 4/5. </p>
