Rush - 2.5 stars

Rush is a mediocre drug/cop movie starring the usually beautiful and creepy Jason Patric and the usually creepy and interesting Jennifer Jason Leigh. He's a street-wise narcotics officer in need of a new partner. She young, cute, and female. Normally this would add up to a nuanced relationship of him trying to keep his distance but eventually falling for the girl. However, he kisses her on the head a few minutes after they meet. Besides their pathetic relationship, the rest of it lives up to the genre. Sam Elliott, best known as the cowboy in The Big Lebowski, is a delight. In summary, it's not worth watching unless you want a basic education on street drugs.
