11.23.04DVR so I'm a Kevin Bacon fan. I'd never actually seen this movie before now. Bacon plays a hotshot day trader who lost a lot of money so he bought a bike and became a messenger. I'm sure the weaving-through-traffic shots were meant to be exhilarating back in 1986. Nowadays, it's pretty cheeseball, complete with an arbitrary bike-trick scene reminiscent of the breakdancers in that one scene of... whatever that movie was... with the girl walking down the sidewalk. Anyway, the 80s music kills it and it's not one of Bacon's best performances either, although seeing him with a mustache in the beginning is funny but not in a good way.
