reception
“Rapidly staged and edited action film that uses its quite simply constructed plot as a framework for brilliant physical action that lives less from digital effects than from brilliant stunts. The genre-typical element of the chase focuses on the acrobatic handling of bicycles in interaction with the urban landscape and the traffic chaos in New York. Grounded by good actors and a skilful handling of the narrated time, the film offers fast-paced entertainment. "
“All possible means of transport have already been used for film chases, from taxis to school buses. In "Premium Rush" the bike is added, which is a good choice: Not only that cyclists are automatically "the good ones", at least in their self-perception; Noble bicycles have also almost replaced the car as a status symbol. And since Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in the saddle, the whole thing is very cool and casual, the fixie is also considered a hipster bike. [...] Fast cuts and a driving soundtrack also add to the tension - and the fact that a cyclist wearing only a helmet, T-shirt and shorts really risks something in a chase; Car chases seem bland on the other hand.
