Hmmm...don't know how I feel about this one.
Synopsis:
Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies, open doors, and eight million cranky pedestrians is all in a day's work for Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), the best of New York's agile and aggressive bicycle messengers. It takes a special breed to ride the fixie -- super lightweight, single-gear bikes with no brakes and riders who are equal part skilled cyclists and suicidal nutcases who risk becoming a smear on the pavement every time they head into traffic.
But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when a routine delivery turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. When Wilee picks up his last envelope of the day on a premium rush run, he discovers this package is different. This time, someone is actually trying to kill him.

Quicksilver is a TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE movie. Please, no one rent this. All the cool bike stuff can be seen on youtube for free, without having to fast forward through the shitty acting, shittier plot, and moments of veiled racism.
C'mon, maybe it will be a cult classic later.
Or win for best comedy.
"Got no brakes, can't stop don't want to" LOL!
I'm waiting for the Sherlock Holmes sequel.
And Mike Shannon (local Chicago actor-guy) makes for a really great villian. I'll be interested to see his take in this movie...
The wait is almost over, a little over a week til...Aug 24...till the Rush...
How about One Red Shoe? Tom Hanks carrying a 2*4*8ft and trying to smash the car's windshield with it.
Mike Shannon gave a criminally overlooked performance in Take Shelter. Awesome movie.

Guess they didn't realize that the fixie bike craze died more than 5 years ago and that Joseph Gordon Levitt is an awful actor.
Minh,
Go rent "Hesher".
Hope you're feeling better after your dooring.

Premium Rush parody. Not that funny but heck I'll post it anyway. :)
Redeye gave it a 3 out of 4 stars - http://www.redeyechicago.com/entertainment/movies/redeye-movie-revi...
Active Trans doesn't have an official position on Premium Rush, although we can say that Quicksilver is amazing.
Thanks,
Ethan Spotts, Active Trans
We cannot confirm nor deny that such letters have been already drafted and mailed.

I expect demand that Active Transportation Alliance promptly draft a letter in response to each negative movie review which may pop up in Chicago media.
