I want to be a big-city bike messenger!
#1
Wow! I watched Premium Rush last night with that kid from 3rd Rock.

So-so movie, great action. The stunt riders were really very good. The camera manipulation was sometimes too obvious, but over all I liked the action.

Naysayer. The portrayal in the film was 100% accurate.

That movie played twice last month on cable here. I liked it
and the riding. I think it is likely dangerous, for thrill seekers
and challenging. I respect folks that can do that kind of riding
and survive. ymmv

my favorite bike messenger moves are running red lights, mowing down peds in the crosswalk and riding on sidewalks. the last one is the best! yes, I live in a city. the movie? I have no idea.

Did I mention it was a movie? Perhaps I should have posted the disclaimer "This is NOT a documentary".

And Tommy/Wilee did all his own riding!

Actually JGL did more of it than you'd expect. One of the hardest working actors IMO.

I'm too fat. Probably get wedged between a couple of taxis and end up on youtube.
