Leave your thoughts about Premium Rush.
| AALBC.comKam WilliamsA Tour de Gridlock unfolding at a breakneck pace that doesn't give you a chance to pause to consider whether what you're watching is even credible. |
| CNN.comTom CharityAn unpretentious throwback to the kind of action movie that had no need of superheroes, Premium Rush is hardly a classic but fun up to a point. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertYou're looking for depth and profundity, this is the wrong movie. But under the direction of David Koepp ("Secret Window," the screenplays for "Mission: Impossible" and "Spider-Man"), this is an expert and spellbinding adventure. |
| BeliefnetNell MinowDirector and co-writer David Koepp, like his hero, pares everything down to the essentials, and that means removing the brakes. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekNot so much a movie as an exercise in cinematic adrenaline, but so long as it sticks to the pavement and avoids trying to humanize its clockwork characters, [it's] dumb fun. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsPremium Rush is great fun - nimble, quick, the thinking person's mindless entertainment. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasHe's Premium Rush's villain, but Shannon doesn't attempt anything like the austere derangement of a Hans Gruber type, even though he specializes in playing terrifying nutjobs. Instead, he's a buffoon of the first order, and his hapless tomfoolery sets the tone for a light, fast, frequently hilarious 90 minutes. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertThe skeleton of "Premium Rush" is as old as the movies: a chase. It's how the skeleton is fleshed out that makes the movie such loopy, crazed, dangerous fun. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyPopcorn gets stuck in the bubblegum of director/co-writer David Koepp's teenybopper crowd-pleaser. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderGordon-Levitt proves he's the best actor on two wheels, pedaling furiously to save a grueling ride from becoming more tiresome. |
