Premium Rush - The most corny popcorn movie ever made

Premium Rush is not a great movie. But, then again, it's certainly not a bad one either. It seems to sit perfectly on that middle ground between the two. It's about a cycle courier in New York who picks up a package to deliver, only to discover a sinister man also wants it and will do anything to get it. What transpires is a cat and mouse chase through the city.

The good guys are easily defined as good and the bad guys are suitably bad. It all plays out like a comic book adventure with plenty of action, chases and the odd bit of sentiment and romance thrown in to the bargain.

In many ways Premium Rush is the perfect film. It's easy to watch, not hard to understand and could probably double as a `date movie' as it would most likely enjoyed by couples (men for the action and woman as there seems to be plenty of topless men!).

If you want to rest your mind, get out a big bag of popcorn, pick `n mix or your snacks of choice, put your brain `on hold' and enjoy the daftness of the ride.

7/10 if I woke up on Groundhog Day and had to watch this again, I could live with that
