Year of first release: 2012
Director: David Koepp

Conditions of visioning: 08.10.2012, Schauburg, OV
Synopsis: Manhattan. A bike messenger picks up an envelope from a Chinese woman that attracts the interest of a dirty cop, who pursues the cyclist throughout the city. 
Review: This movie reminds me Speed. New concept of action movie without car races nor big gun firing. Premium rush shows for the first time I know bikers as main protagonists. It is modern because of the green mind. Bikes and flash mobs are good. Cars, dirty cops and corruption are dumb. The story rythm and the suspense are kept all long by keeping the bikes in movement. Chased by the dirty cop, by the police, etc. The camerman follows the bikes so that we have a feeling of high speed and tension. 
Rating: 7 /10

  1. Bike races are indeed an originality, I am tempted to watch this film.
    David Koepp is the director from Stir of echoes that I reviewed recently, and a screenplay writer behind many blockbusters like Jurassik Park, Mission Impossible, Snake Eyes, Spider-Man, War of the Worlds, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull...

  2. Following your good review I have watched the movie last week in HD VOD on my Home cinema. As you described it is really original and refreshing. I totally agree with your review. My rating is the same: 7/10
