Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Inception) is hell on two wheels in the action movie Premium Rush.
Gordon-Levitt plays Wilee, a bike messenger on the brutal New York City streets who’s known for getting his packages across town in record time. But after he’s requested to get a package to its destination by a strict deadline, he’s chased by a corrupt cop (Michael Shannon, TV’s Boardwalk Empire: Season 1) who will stop at nothing to intercept it.
War of the Worlds writer David Koepp co-wrote the screenplay for Premium Rush along with John Kamps (Ghost Town), and Koepp also served as director for the thriller film.
Despite good reviews, PG-13-rated Premium Rush grossed $20 million in theaters, lower than other movies of the same kind. Which is a surprise. The fast-paced film was called “hyper-adrenalized entertainment” by Sacramento News & Review critic Jim Lane.
The movie is one to check out on disc.
Sony kept the special features on the DVD and Blu-ray sparse. Just two featurettes:
- “The Starting Line: Meet the Cast”
- and “Behind the Wheels: Featurette on the Action, Stunts and Chases.”
Both the DVD and Blu-ray also offer instant streaming and a downloadable digital copy of the film via UltraViolet.
