This one has kind of a goofy premise and the fact that David Koepp wrote it doesn’t carry a lot of weight with me, but Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon have pretty good taste in scripts lately, and the direction by John Kamps looks solid enough to keep things interesting, so who knows?
Premium Rush co-stars Dania Ramirez and Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch). It hits theaters in the former No Man’s Land of January — now the home of minor box office hits like Cloverfield and… uh… Paul Blart: Mall Cop, specifically on the 13th.
UPDATE (10/22/11): Dark Horizons is reporting that Premium Rush has been moved to an August 24, 2012, release date. No explanation was given.
Oh my zombie jesus, Joseph Gordon Levitt in action biking? There’s actually no part of this that I don’t like.
I concur.
Seems awfully evocative of Brian Wood & Rob G’s Couriers:

Really? From the synopsis, other than the protagonist being a delivery worker of some sort (JGL is an ordinary bike messenger; they’re gun runners), I don’t see the similarities. Couriers seems to have more in common with The Transporter than with this.
I mean, presumably you’ve read it and I haven’t, but…
