Review of Speed (1994) by Steven1981 — 22 Apr 2020
Speed is a 1994 action, adventure, thriller that also has some elements of romance but it's not classed as a romance film... It has plenty of action but Speed is basically about a terrorist (Dennis Hopper) who after blowing a lift and the innocents escape due to help from the police and LAPD then makes the cops believe he is dead after he detonates a bomb strapped to him.
Later on he rigs a city bus and Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) has to board the bus and keep it's speed above 50 because if the bus speed drops below 50mph it explodes thereby killing everyone on board.. Jeff Daniels and Joe Morton also star along with Sandra Bullock.
..I wouldn't say Speed is the best film ever made but it's up there and it's a worthy competitor and it wouldn't have worked if Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper didn't get involved.
