Once we meet Michael Shannon's character and have a nice chase, the movie again backs up for a bit, revealing what the dirty cop was doing earlier that day. The first scene shows Wilee crashing and flying through the air, only for us to travel back in time to earlier that day. One of the major benefits of this movie is that it is not told in strict chronological order. So of course a chase across the city ensues throughout the remainder of the day. This package is of some special importance because a dirty cop, played with exquisite menace and insanity by Michael Shannon, wants the package in order to pay off his immense gambling debt. Near the end of the day, Wilee gets a package from his girl's roommate. He has a girlfriend who also works for the same company, although on this particular day she is mad at him for not showing up to her college graduation. Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays Wilee, a bike messenger who loves to ride through the streets of New York like a maniac, with no gears and no brakes.

The story is a little over the top, but that hardly matters. Premium Rush is the type of movie that gets better as it goes on, expanding on its characters and creating riveting and never tiresome chase scenes. An action movie about biking through the streets of Manhattan is certainly an interesting idea, and may seem a bit silly, but writer and director David Koepp manages to create a fun and exhilarating film around this premise.
