David Koepp’s Premium Rush (US, 2012) **
The lovably
ridiculous bike-messenger thriller "Premium Rush" is a welcome
throwback. In a film world where genre fare is elevated to the level of serious
cinema, and B-movie helmers have a penchant for self-aware irony, they just
don't make dumb movies like they used to. But "Premium Rush" deftly
straddles the line between stupid and clever for the entirety of its brisk
running time, wearing its inessentiality on its sleeve, and though B.O. will be
modest, the pic could thrive in its natural habitat as lazy Sunday cable
fodder.
