Premium Rush


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.
