An action film based on a stupid idea with alright acting. Nothing special here, but if you want to see a bus jump a bridge and a bunch of stupid one liners delivered by Keanu Reeves then this is your flick.

Surprisingly, Speed has held up well. While other movies released in the mid-90s seem so dated, Speed still can get the heart pumping. The premise is simple: keep a bus from going under 50 or it's going to explode. Throw in traffic, road work, camera tricks and a still-acting-like-his-crazy self Dennis Hopper and it's a formula for success. |

Speed = Action. |
|
PROS:
Speed is one great action film. It was one of the first films I saw and still remains one of my favourite. The suspense and action of this film is speechless. The action sequences were performed so well; you couldn't see the special effects. Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and Dennis Hopper all deliver breathtaking performances; primarily Hopper's as the psychotic bomber. The plot is very interesting and fairly simple. A bomb on bus.
CONS:
The dialogue got very cliched; especially with Sandra Bullock but then again; it was her first mainstream film. Not much problems with Speed; it is genuinely great.
VERDICT:
Speed is a action thrill-ride which will leave you wanting for more. It is a shame the sequel wasn't the same but surely; this film is a film guaranteed to leave your ... |

Reinvents the action Genre |
|
The reason that this film works is because the action is so fierce and gripping. I will continue by saying that I do not like Keanu Reeves as an actor but in action films he seems to do okay. There where so many holes in the script that I won't even go into all of them, and as for direction I think this reinvented the genre. I enjoy Speed like I said at the beginning because of the action but also because the characters that are on the bus seem real and I think it is easy for the viewer to identify with them. Dennis Hopper made a perfect villain and there are even a few shots of his eyes that made me think that he is truly insane. This one is definitly worth a watch and is one of my guilty pleasures. |

This always gets me racing |
|
This is always a fun movie to watch. I hadn't even seen it until years after it came out. There were a lot of "suspenseful" scenes even though you already knew that everone was gonna walk away safely. I guess its just always cool to see how. Not mad at it. Like I said, fun. |
