Pulling off maneuvers that even Evel Knievel would have been proud of, Joseph Gordon Levitt jams across town on a "premium rush" order. He has to deliver an envelope to Chinatown and no sooner has he left the depot when he is being chased by a corrupt detective (played deliciously over the top by Michael Shannon.) Little does he know he's carrying a ticket redeemable for an invaluable item. His bike doesn't have brakes and he likes it that way. Will he make it in time to his destination or will he eat it or get caught by Shannon?
One thing I dig about this action thriller is it doesn't get bogged down in a bunch of subplots. Clocking in at a nice tight ninety minutes the action starts from frame one and doesn't let up until credits roll. Shannon plays the perfect heavy, he's comical and now that I've watched it a couple times I can't imagine the movie without him. Adrenaline junkies will love. Currently streaming on Tubi. 3.0 stars/5
