Trailer

Premium Rush trailer offers standard thrill (see what I did there?)

It's an action movie about... cycle couriers? When was this made, 1983? I sure hope no one releases a movie about rollerbladers any time soon, otherwise this is going to look really dated.

So I know Joseph Gordon-Levitt is like the coolest man alive and David Koepp is Steven Spielberg's bum-chum and everything about Premium Rush is so hip it hurts (fixed gear and no brakes? Hope your scarf doesn't get caught in the spokes), but I officially Don't Get It. Am I supposed to be impressed by JLG doing bike stunts like a 13 year-old? And if he's so great, how come he gets hit by three cars in the trailer alone? I've been hit by less cars than that and I don't even ride a bike.

I suppose at the very least, it'll give reviewers a new set of adjectives to use - after five Fast & Furious films, there can't be a single recognisable car part that hasn't been turned into a rubbish pun. Spokes! Pedals! Saddles! It's a whole new world!
