Director David Koepp... understands the mechanics of action cinema and he puts the promise of 'Premium Rush' right in the title. There’s not much to the plot but the journey is a rush.

What a joy it is to be delivered such a coherent and smartly made action movie when so many these days are just the opposite.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Oct 3, 2022

It's handsome entertainment wrapped in a glitzy cover the kind that you relish in the now, laugh about in the later and recognize in the future.

| Feb 11, 2022

Employs stylized forms of special effects and editing - essentially interference that reminds audiences that they're watching a movie instead of becoming immersed in it.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 2, 2020

A better film because Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 20, 2020

A slick, entertaining ride, full of great stunt work, and if that's what you're looking for, you won't be disappointed.

| Original Score: B- | Jul 11, 2020

This is no fancy carbon 12-speed. It's hard core: lightweight steel frame, no gears, no brakes.

The story is skimpy... but delivers.

[Joseph Gordon-Levitt is] a talented guy, but I cannot tell you to run right out and see this one. It's a 5.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Dec 14, 2018

It looks like screenwriter David Keopp's (Jurassic Park, Mission: Impossible) writing takes a hit when he's also taking on the role of director.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 16, 2018

The pace of the movie is really fantastic, but once you get past that and realize you've been watching a 90-minute bike chase, which isn't nearly as thrilling as the trailer lets on, you begin to deflate.

| Original Score: D+ | Sep 7, 2017

It's weightless and graceless, complete with a stock love story, a cloying human interest angle, and no shortage of poor acting.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 16, 2016

It's a tight little thriller, briskly told. And I'm already having a hard time remembering anything else about It.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

Satisfying on a basic, fun level, but also stylishly produced and not insulting to the viewer's intelligence.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 17, 2013

The movie, idiotic as it is, has its charms, thanks in large part to its two main actors.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 23, 2013

Gordon-Levitt proves he's the best actor on two wheels, pedaling furiously to save a grueling ride from becoming more tiresome.

| Original Score: C | May 26, 2013

Joseph Gordon-Levitt' fixed-wheel bike has a single gear and no brakes, and you could say the same of director David Koepp's film, which is light on character and plot. But, even on two wheels, the action is fast and furious.

Want more from a late-summer joyride than slides, wheelies and bunny hops? Get a load of Shannon, dementedly inspired, trying out an oddball accent and Richard Widmark giggle.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2013

Gordon-Levitt is, as usual, a likeable hero, though he's underused in a film that's plainly more interested in kinetics than drama.

| Jan 8, 2013

Just a few spokes short of a wheel, guys.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2013
