Shannon rides away with ‘Premium Rush'
By JAKE COYLE

“Premium Rush,” an enjoyable, two-wheeled action film is a flashy ode to the subculture of urban couriers.
It's a silly movie predicated on a simple premise, but “Premium Rush” is satisfying B-movie entertainment that moves with the swiftness of a Schwinn — a ride made fun particularly by Michael Shannon's enthrallingly comic performance as a dirty cop in mad pursuit of a bike messenger's cargo.
