IMDB gave it a 6.5, I would hardly call it garbage. We just criticize it more because we are bike enthusiast.

Premium Rush is just as well written, acted and directed as most of the Hong Kong action genre that it is modeled after. I particularly liked how the plotlines were intercut, in relation to the "time bomb" device.
The movie has a few implausible details, but nothing nearly as absurd as:
- hobbits
- interstellar travel
- dude jumping off exploding helicopter with no parachute carrying sqrl and shooting grenade launcher
- etc.
