[Three and a half out of four] Very good movie for both Reeves and Sandra Bullock
But for a better view of Hopper, try
german film 'Straight Shooter.' In Speed,
Hooper plays villan missing one thumb,
which he blames on city, to blow up if
it goes below 55 (Take that Sammy Hagar!)
...Reeves and Bullock find way to stop bus
and great parody of this in Leslie Nielsen's
Spy Hard! Talent does not go to waste in this
Bullock / Reeves film (for a change, unless
you like The Net better)! I still like Reeves
better in Point Break, but I like bumpy rides
on surf boards better!

never get on the bus with dennis hopper
this is next to die hard one of thwe best action movies ever made. everything just clicked on this movie, the cast the script and the direction just make this the best way to spend some time watching a movie.a mad man(hopper,type cast now as the crazy villin,but here he just knocks the part out of the park)puts a bomb on a bus so that if it slows down below 50 mph it will blow-up. keanu reeves(in full blowen action hero glory) is the cop who must find a way to save the day as he gets on board the bus . sandra bullack is the love intrest and unlike most action movies she has a very important part to play in this as she is forced to take the wheel of the bus. this is one of those films that starts in 5 gear and never slows down and just when you think it's over you get one last bit a action in the almost unknown l.a. subway system. the extras are great and that makes this one a great part of my collection


This movie is more boring than church
Man, this movie sucks. Make no mistake, I am a man. I like my movies manly and violent. I just wanna point this out, cause so many people love to write reviews for things that they wouldn't generally care for, which is pretty worthless. I have nothing against 'Speed' in theory, or action movies in theory, anyway. Basically, 'Speed' lives on its gimmicky premise. The trouble is, this premise proves to be exceedingly dull. Riding the bus is not especially thrilling. In fact, actually riding the bus is more interesting than this film: there are often crazy people on the real bus. Also, you can play a game to try and determine which of the 5 cell phone conversations that you are overhearing is the most asinine. (This is futile, however. They are all always banal beyond belief.) Then the movie goes on for a lot longer than it should've, and simply becomes silly and moronic rather than tedious, so it covers all its bases, I guess. Also, it has the obnoxious, loathsome Sandra Bullock and a particularly dull Keanu Reeves. Hopper hams it up, as he ought to, but he's a lot less fun than usual. That's the ultimate problem with this movie-- it's stupid and tedious, but in a pious, serious way. You can't laugh at this the way you can lotsa crappy action movies. All you can do is groan, sigh, yawn and finally, sleep.

Grade: D-
