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.

Acting- 4/5
