The Chainlink

Did anyone else see the previews for the new bike messenger being chased by bad cops movie with Joseph Gordon-Levitt?

Looks awesome, though the review is less than glowing.

As with a lot of action movies, it requires some suspension of disbelief.

I'll give it 3 of 5. 

Action great, story line and congruity...not so much.

He did all those tricks in the garage with broken/bruised ribs?

The scene where he rode down Broadway from 116th was repeated to make it seem like a longer chase? 

The ONLY part of Manhattan where the subway runs above ground is 125th where he dipped out to avoid the Beemer. (heading south in the chase scene)

And somehow all this took place in an hour and a half and he still delivered the message!?

 

+1  The garage scene was truly stellar stunt work.

Gotta call out the stunt work of trials-god Danny McCaskill in the parking garage scene!  At least they hired the best in the business!

GOOD MOVIE NOTHING LIKE SILVER STREAK WITH KEVIN B WHOLE DIFFERENT PLOT LOTS OF FLASH BACKS AND ACTION
