Wilee is one of 1500 bike couriers in Manhattan who rides on the edge by having a bike with no brakes. On this day Wilee has a delivery that is so valuable that a corrupt NYC Detective who needs the money begins to chase Wilee throughout the city to get it before the envelope is delivered.

Review

It's not a 10 star film but it is a fun ride with action that makes up for a few flaws in plot and the flow of storyline. The best issue in this film is almost constant action and wild biking through the New York streets. One of the elements that were new to the screen and highly workable were the sudden stop of action to follow the splitsecond decision making of a messengerbiker. Choices (usualy three) that have to be made in the moment. The bad guy in the film is nasty and very believable. So if you're looking for a thrill ride and a fun film then go see it. Enjoy the earthy feel of the cameras that capture the life of a messenger on two wheels competing with trucks cabs and cops.
