Rottentomatoes- 76%
RJG Rating- 80

Wilee ,a bicycle messenger is pursued relentlessly by a man ,who is after an envelope hes carrying.

Starring- Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Director- David Koepp

Joseph Gordon is the highlight of the movie.Its his charisma and style that powers the movie through its entirety.He gives a very convincing performance.The supporting cast were great too.

The story of Premium Rush is one of its drawback.As the plot progresses ,it gets into cliches and poor thinking.Even with all this ,the story is okay and its twists and presentation make it interesting.

Direction was excellent.Koepp made a great work out of this average story.The presentation was great and gave the movie a fast paced progression.The movie is exciting from the first to the very last scene and doesnt get dull whatsoever.The cycling scenes and stunts were choreographed and presented beautifully.

Overall ,Premium Rush is a fun and exciting movie and a must watch for Joseph Gordon fans.

[a fun and enjoyable movie]

IMDB- 6.2
Rottentomatoes- 80%
RJG Rating- 85

Mike ,a male stripper introduces his new friend into the business.

Starring- Channing Tatum,Alex Pettyfer,Cody Horn
Director- Steven Soderbergh

This is a complete Channing Tatum powered movie.From the start to finish hes in control of the movie.He might not be the greatest actor in the business ,but hes very convincing.All the supporting actors are good and help Channing push the movie forward.Alex Pettyfer was average ,Matthew McConaughey was good.

The story for Magic Mike isnt much different from that of movies like ,women themed strip dancing movies.Its sort of predictable and there are not many twists.But in no way is the story dull.The story captures most point of views of the business.The story of 2 men ,one an amateur and the other nearing the end his of career ,was an interesting contrast.

Direction by Steven was excellent.He crafted a movie with a simple story into an interesting movie that keeps both male & female audience engaged.The movie had a balanced dose of comedy ,drama ,dance and a bit of romance too.

Overall,Magic Mike is a fun and enjoyable movie for the adult audience.

Acting- 4/5
Story- 3.5/5
Direction- 5/5
Drama- 4/5
Dance- 4/5
