> <strong>Pro</strong>duction for director David Koepp’s Premium Rush has had its pitfalls: like when star<br />
Joseph Gordon-Levitt was flung from a bike into the back of a taxi and endured 31 stitches<br />
for a gash in his arm. But the biggest drama happened, this August, when novelist Joe Quirk<br />
sued the studio for copyright infringement as his book The Ultimate Rush, a thriller about<br />
rollerblading messengers (published in 1998, the height of the blading trend), greatly resembled<br />
the plot of Premium Rush. A series of internal documents supported Quirk’s claims<br />
of intellectual property theft. But the production was wrapped (and the lawsuit continues)<br />
and the result is a taut actioner about a bike messenger who delivers a piece of mail so controversial<br />
that a dirty NY cop (Michael Shannon) bullies him into retrieving it (soooo against<br />
deliveryman rules). If you can overcome the silliness of men and women zooming on bikes,<br />
this is probably the coolest thing ever—I mean bike culture is huge, and so many celebrities<br />
talk about their early days as bike messengers as if it’s how they exercised their need for<br />
excitement before hitting it big. Everyone needs an adrenaline bump, right? And this film<br />
offers that, along with views of Manhattan as if taken right off a GPS. It’s stylized and serving<br />
hipsters with fixies, but is it cool? You be the judge.<br />
