oh man its about time for a major motion picture centered around fixed gear bikes and messengers…Looks like there’s gonna be lots of trickin and shit in it too. Premium Rush has da dude from Inception in it and it looks extremely cheesy…also looks like fixed gear freestyle is gonna get a lot more popular and mainstream in 2012 with the release of a movie like this.
FIXED GEAR…NO BRAKES…CAN’T STOP…DON’T WANT TO EITHER lol
Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies, open doors, and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day’s work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York’s agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie — super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and suicidal nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic.
But a guy who’s used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when a routine delivery turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. When Wilee picks up his last envelope of the day on a premium rush run, he discovers this package is different. This time, someone is actually trying to kill him.
