Not bad but unrealistic

Rating: 5/10 (6 July 2006)

I watched this movie 3 times and i can tell that many of the action scenes are a joke. I drive bus and i know what i am talking about.. The jump over the highway is the worst scene of this movie. In several occasions you can see the bus with a lot of damage and some scene later the bus looks like new. I don't know how many buses there spend to do this move, a lot thats for sure. I would like that action movies are more realistic such some European movies. The scene when all passengers are passed to the other bus are almost impossible to do, the speed of both vehicles must be exact during a quite long period. The final scene with the subway crash, please, nobody would survive or may think about sex! The guy trying to take a picture with a close Polaroyd camera is well the final joke. Anyway, this movie is like many others from Hollywood. The camera-work is not bad with all fast changes of scenery,etc. I like the performance from Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper and Keanu Reaves. I give this movie only a 5 and hope there will come more realistic movies in the future.
