"Premium Rush" (Ride Like Hell)

Saw a poster for this flick while waiting for "Batman" this weekend. Looks AWESOME!

I may not agree with people pulling such stunts in real life. But this is a movie, and this movie happens to look BAD@$$! Can't wait to see it.

Maybe it's just me...
Does anyone who works/ed as a courier ever like these movies, or any of the tv shows which have been done, too?

So it's like Hackers on bikes instead of computers? Wonder if they'll have anything as laughable as the "technical" dialogue from that film.

Looks interesting. I'll look it up on Netflix. But personally, I'm more interested in an action film involving bike messengers than a documentary of their insanity.
Not suggesting any of us should emulate either movie.

Bikes: 42/16 single, what else do you need to know?

I saw a preview for this the other day. I dont know man... I know quite a few messengers here in Chi, and I do not know one of them that rides like that while working. Late nights coming home from the bar? Yea maybe.

Jakkalan is the leader in the genre.



I'm still totally stoked that Premium Rush is finally hitting the screens, been a long wait since the first announced release date.
