Best movie of this year hands down!

Simply Perfect

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I'm not sure which is worse - the writing or the acting. What is even worse is that some people rated it higher than 2. If you're 12 years old or younger I guess the action would be "cool". I have never rated a movie before but this warranted one just to keep others from wasting their time hoping this film would get better after the 1st couple of chapters.

It's always nice in my opinion to see a movie about something not too run of the mill. You know, something different, something about people we wouldn't usually hear about or think to watch movies about. Bike messengers have always fascinated me. Not the way space does or something super interesting might, but hey it's a cool movie nonetheless. It's got good dialogue, is very fast paced (in the beginning and the end), all set within a few hours or so, and is interesting. Yes, interesting! I want to know who he delivers his packages to, ha!I was less interested by the romantic subplot going on over the telephone while the two messengers are biking through the streets of New York, but I suppose that was necessary to fill in the time and maybe contribute to character development and whatever else that's important in a good plot. I never realised how big New York City was until seeing the routes Joseph Gordon Levitt's character takes through the city. Granted, I've never been to New York, or anywhere in the continent of North America for that matter, so I wouldn't know the geography of the place too well, but still, I didn't expect it to be that large. As the movie goes on it loses a bit of its steam and the plot becomes a bit weird to follow, and also Jamie Cheung's Chinese accent both when she speaks English and Mandarin (I'm fluent) is horrible. Absolutely inaccurate and perhaps a bit insulting because of that. Anyway, it's still a decent film that's only about 90 minutes or so and features the wonderful actor Michael Shannon, so I'd say it's worth a watch.

Is it weird that i enjoyed this film? By looking at the reviews people were not crazy thrilled but what were they anticipating. you are watching an action film involving cyclists not a film aiming for the top ten movies of all time list. This movie gives you exactly what you would expect with a much better than expected execution. Never once was I bored during this film I put it on to watch a fun movie and that is exactly what I got. Makes me want to ride a bike not that I would I'm lazy but if a film manages that as I watch it that just proves that it's a fun ride. It's not perfect but it's a fun ride just as you would and expect does not deserve as much hate as it's got.

This is a prime example of an action movie made by people who truly know the craft. The film is for the most part lightning-quick and visually pleasing, the characters aren't incredibly deep, but acted well with all the necessary tropes, and amidst it all, there's something at stake.The filmmakers don't try to sugarcoat anything with respect to character development; Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "Wiley" is introduced as a likable guy doing a job because he loves it and isn't seeing eye to eye with his girlfriend, but thankfully there's no melodrama.Other than that, we're given a villain who is easy to dislike with his pathetic, slimy personality. These components, combined with the value of the envelope Wiley must deliver actually make the movie fairly intense at times, though it's always at least fun. There's a definite sense of humour as well.Only complaint is that there are moments where the pacing kind of drags relative to the rest of the film when the bikes aren't involved. Easily overlooked.
