What makes it different from others?
Strong and Moving!
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
View MoreThere are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
View MoreInitially this seemed like an exciting concept, parkour infused robberies. But after probably 20 minutes into it I got bored, it felt like a never ending YouTube parkour tutorial. And it was just downhill from there. It seems Americans cant make movies without adding a random love plot with the inevitable sex scene. Overall I strongly disliked the movie but that could also be attributed to my repulsion to Taylor Lautner's acting and looks, the guy's face is nauseating. I thought I had recovered from the Twilight torment but I think it's still to soon.
View MoreThe film starts off as Premium Rush as Cam (Taylor Lautner) is a Bike Messenger in New York who owes money to the Chinese mafia. He crashes his bike into Nikki (Marie Avgeropoulos) and through her he is introduced a group of slackers that use Parkour to pull off heists. He just needs to make sure he keeps out of Chinatown. So the movie quickly evolves into a knock off Fast and Furious type with acrobatics replacing cars.Cam joins the gang, falls in love with Nikki, but there is mutual distrust between Cam and the leader of the gang.Cam quickly develops his Parkour skills but his debt to the gangsters is spiralling out of control and the heists are getting riskier.The film starts off brightly, gets dull very quickly, the plot is mundane and even the Parkour can get repetitive. Lautner is OK in the action scenes but the drama and romance angle is limp.
View MoreFirst of all, this is not a great movie but it is not as bad as it is told in here. The reviews are coming up from different minds and that means we don't have to like the same things but come on guys, watch the entire movie first then write your reviews.Actually, Taylor Lautner did a good job and I believe that he didn't use stunts on most parts of the film.The action scenes really excited me and I want those parts to be passed and see the next part, which is good I think, by that way director made me wondered. I believe this is a very important a movie should have.Well, guessing the end of the film easily is the disadvantage of the film I think.****SPOILER ALERT**** On the way to the end, where they were going to get diamonds, going down from the ceiling glass part could be better to show that Miller is standing Cam up.
View MoreCam (Taylor Lautner) is a bike messenger who owes big money to Chen in China Town, but becomes interested in Parkour when he crashes into Nikki (Marie Avgeropoulos) and he sees an opportunity to make even more money to pay off his debt. Well, he likes Marie as well. Ahhhh here we go.Parkour is a style of free running that involves running, jumping, climbing, sprinting, flipping over walls and cars, and leaping over well, you name it. It's like gravity doesn't exist for them. Cam witnesses this group doing their thing around the city and is intrigued.Cam starts Parkour training with Marie who tells him, "It's like a state of mind. Don't look where the car is, look where the car isn't." as he stumbles around learning the moves and eventually he becomes good at it. Then he wants to know what this group does and why. Here's the thing: they make things disappear for big money. If there is evidence that would send someone to jail, they get rid of that evidence. Or they break into warehouses to steal valuable items for buyers who pay upon delivery. Miller (Adam Rayner) is the boss who lines up the jobs. Cam wants in as he reasons he can pay off Chen quicker and get Chen's Enforcer off his back. And, of course, he likes Nikki. Of course. These Parkour scenes are like watching monkeys run rapidly through busy city streets and it will definitely get your heart racing and pounding as you will feel like you are running with them. The choreography of this Parkour is outstanding. The music helps all this along as it should. The sub plots to this story are compelling and keep us engaged. Who is Miller and how does he know what jobs are out there? Why does Miller say they do not do jobs in China Town? Why is Nikki involved with Miller? How can Cam get Nikki away from Miller? Most jobs do not involve guns, but suddenly guns are being used. Cam realizes he is becoming a criminal but doesn't like the guns aspect. Everything climaxes in China Town. Whaaaat? Well, we just knew we would, somehow, end up in a place the group was not supposed to go. Google Parkour if you want to know more about it. If you decide to do Parkour, make sure your knees are good for it. As for me, I'll pass. Ha! (7/10) Violence: Yes. Sex: No, a make-out session doesn't count. Nudity: No. Language: No. .
