Beat The Meetles 1 Posted March 10, 2015 You need to watch this movie from 1986. It stars Kevin Bacon and he, himself, described it as "the absolute lowest point of my career", and this is only 2 years after "Footloose". The first 10 minutes are a riot as they try to age Kevin Bacon, playing a floor trader, by giving him a bad wig and a fake moustache. After losing everything, he tries to get his life together again by becoming a bicycle messenger. Jami Gertz plays what I can only generously call, a not quite high functioning mentally challenged person. A young Laurence Fishburne as well as comedian Louie Anderson also have roles in the movie, both play bicycle messengers as well. By the way, this isn't a comedy. Not it's a dramatic movie with drugs, murder, revenge, and redemption all as familiar tropes. 1 Share this post Link to post

Blast Hardcheese 636 Posted March 11, 2015 Why do these extreme sports movies always seem to have a criminal slant to them? Quicksilver, Gleaming the Cube, and Premium Rush each features a plot revolving around a crime element thwarted by the extreme sport showcased in the film. Share this post Link to post
