‘Premium Rush’ Rides To Blu-ray This December
Premium Rush was a somewhat surprising film to come out of the summer. Sure, it looked like it could be silly fun, but the movie was actually a lot more fun and exciting than it’s late August release date lead me to believe (Review). So with that said, on December 21st, people will get the chance to see this film on Blu-ray and DVD. It is a fast-paced action flick, centered around a cat and mouse chase between a bike messenger (Joseph Gordan-Levitt) and a corrupt cop (Michael Shannon). It is a fun film for sure and manages to have just the right tone for a movie of its type. To find out more about this upcoming release, read the full press release below.

Synopsis:
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. David Koepp directed PREMIUM RUSH; it was written by David Koepp and John Kamps and was produced by Gavin Polone.
