Okay!!!! we are back with a movie review. We will be bringing you two reviews today so lets get started with the first one. "Premium Rush"  Now we put the trailer above so u can get a feel for the movie. Now "premium rush" is a story about bike messengers in new york... if that doesn't get the juices flowing i dont know what will. Joseph Gordon Levitt plays a bike messenger who doesn't play by the rules. Yea shit gets serious on his bicycle. Now the main conflict is between he and michael shannon who is a very we'll say dysfunctional cop. Joseph gordon levitt has a package that Michael shannon wants. * insert dirty joke* So he spends the movie trying to stop JGL from delivering this package. Now this sets up numerous chase scenes which would be awesome if they weren't on fucking bikes. All of the bike scenes are done well but i kept getting the feeling that a car reaches speeds a bike does not, because that is a fact. Also the characters in this film are extremely hard to like. There is this one guy who is JGL's adversary and he tries to steal JGL's girl. He is one of the most annoying characters ever. Now we get to the villain in Michael Shannon. Michael shannon is a great actor and he is good in the movie the problem is the terrible script. He starts off really serious and badass then he turns into a homicidal version of Barney. The movie also tries to balance things that it simply cannot with a script like this. There are some cool parts like this effect where when JGL ( count how many times i say JGL) gets into a pickle he can visualize what to do. Although when they show him getting hit by the cars it is hilarious. True comic relief. At the end of it all "Premium Rush" is very empty movie which tries to be an action movie it cannot be. Annoying characters,bad script and bad direction take this movie down a few notches. I give it a 5/10. Come back later for a review of the worst movie of the year later " The amazing spider man" See ya!
