A one trick pony - think Phone Booth or Panic Room in that a single concept can drive a whole movie but it was well thought out, looked great and kept my attention throughout.

If you don't know the premise a NY bike messenger has to deliver a package to the other side of town whilst being chased by a bent cop who also wants the contents.


Absolutely predictable from start to finish but who cares really? I wanted to be diverted and have fun and the scene with the gorilla in TGI Fridays was worth the 90 min haul.

It's actually a pile of **** but I decided to turn my brain off whilst watching so it did it's job.



Ridiculously brilliant. If you liked In Bruges this is from the same team. Subversive, ridiculous, humorous and full of the same jet black comedy shot through with amazing pathos. Excellent stuff if you like indie movies.
