DARING DO
Today's movie was the super exciting cycle thriller
with the ever more exciting Joseph Gordon-Levitt and, as the villain, a great leering turn by Michael Shannon.
This is bikes on speed. Up and down New York. A tick tock thriller.
It is very exciting. The blood is still racing around with my adrenalin in it.
Something convoluted involving the shipment of illegals out of China and a message for a messenger who can't get there in time and a cop who wants to intercept the deal.
Filmed in the middle of NYC traffic there is no safe spot available. All swerves, dodges and pile ups.
The speed makes you forget the improbable.
I loved the way they included the old fashioned Chinese ways, subcultural, in the middle of the bike culture all modern, all kind of outlawish.
I would gladly see it again if it came around. A 4 out of Netflix5.
