The Life of a Bike Messenger | Premium Rush

Wilee (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) navigates Manhattan traffic.

Watch the full movie!

Dodging speeding cars, crazed cabbies 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 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 his last envelope of the day - a routine "premium rush" run - turns into a life or death chase through the streets of Manhattan. Also starring Michael Shannon, Dania Ramirez and Jamie Chung.

It's fast paced, it's energetic, and it's a great way to stay in shape

Man I remember watching this before I became a courier. I've been a courier for over 8 years now, I watched the movie a bit recently too, it aged quite well.

Someone should sit down a messenger and have them watch this and get their thoughts.

The riding is ridiculous, the fixed gear bike is actually a disadvantage in the urban surroundings, single speed bike is infinitely better!
Was a decent movie, I enjoyed watching it! Greetings from Croatia 😎

This movie tried to make nerds look hard like they’re hackers or bounty hunters
