There\’s a break on this bike. Look at the top picture. Won\’t film makers ever learn to exploit a sport properly?

Looks stupid. But also looks like the actors & some flashy bike stunts will help make it a breezy if forgettable 90 minutes.

Ah what the hell, I like Michael Shannon doing his bad guy schtick.

Didn\’t know Michael Shannon with Joseph Gordon-Levitt on the boat, awesome. Look forward to this movie!

Traditional, glossy Hollywood drivel. Messenger works for a hip courier company (replace with any workplace for said character type) with \”weird\” co-workers with amusingly deranged traits and a sexy lady.
Bland cinematography, traditional story beats, and the clincher: the overused-everywhere shot of the character in profile, doing something routine, until a car slams into them, presumably jarring the audience. It was inventive and effective in Adaptation and nowhere else since.

Most couriers I know are gutterpunk types or bike-freaks–rarely well-dressed and rarer still, helmeted.
