Review of Speed (1994) by Rachel L — 17 Apr 2012
This movie holds a special place in my heart. At only 11 years old when it came out, it was subject to repeated viewings. And watching it again in my late 20s, it still stacks up as a fun action movie with some awesome one liners.
Including my favourite exchange between Dennis Hopper and Keanu Reeves.
Dennis Hopper's evil genius character says: ""I'm smarter than you Jack. I'm smarter.".
Keanu Reeves with deadpan delivery: "Yeah..... well I'm taller.".
Speed set Keanu up as a one word kind of actor, with the acting range of a pot plant, which has really worked well for him somehow.
I also enjoy the fact that in L.A, construction workers don't seem to ever finish anything. Be it train lines, overpasses, airport runways - you name it.
