Battleship / Transformers ... Quicksilver / Flashdance ... No matter the decade, Hollywood always tries new ways on working ideas. In this case, the latter two have more in common than the former do to their origins. Contrary to the early review, this film starts off and runs through most of the film staying close to the bike messenger world of its namesake. From some of the opening scenes to the name of the messenger service nearly everyone in the film works for, the Quicksilver theme is present throughout as much as half of the film. While not the bike film of "American Flyers" or "Breaking Away", the film follows more in the footsteps of Flashdance in following Jack and a select few of the other messengers as they either rebound or shoot higher for a better life.
