It&#...I wouldn't say the script is horrendous.<br /><br />It's a more or less paint by the numbers action thriller, sure.<br /><br />I don't think anyone would hate it, but for cyclists it's fun. It's kind of relentlessly hipsterish in it's almost Amish like rejection of any cycling technology that predates the 1940s, but it was fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-23908516607268741992012-09-06T12:10:01.386-07:002012-09-06T12:10:01.386-07:00Sound really good, thanks for that.

Loved to watch him search a bag! He's like a nicotine fit without the cigarette.<br /><br />And, Jake, the Chinatown scenes and actors were great.<br /><br />Also liked the alternate bike routes scenes.<br /><br />The plot creaked loudly in parts, lots of happy stereotyping, and the representation of bike culture a little mixed, but there were long stretches of movie goodness. Certainly one of the better bike movies, which isn't saying much of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18676999.post-81127572933613739632012-09-03T16:59:21.868-07:002012-09-03T16:59:21.868-07:00The script is absolutely horrendous and the cast t...The script is absolutely horrendous and the cast tries their best with it, but it just ends up making this flick a very goofy, but somewhat fun action film that has a new take on the whole genre.
