There is a bomb on the bus

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2014)

Speed is a terrific action blockbuster. I like to say high adrenaline but I am just limited to 50 Miles per hour!
Keanu Reeves is a LA police officer who locks horn with ex cop Dennis Hopper who is hacked off with his retirement. Reeves has stopped Hopper from blowing up a building now cunningly Hopper has rigged a bus that will blow up if its speed drops below 50 MPH. Sandra Bullock ends up driving the bus and Reeves mus save the passengers.
The screenplay was probably destined to be Die Hard on a bus, there is a terrific bad guy, some nice humour, action and suspense all make it an enjoyable ride. Good interplay with Reeves and Bullock and although the film-makers know they are not making high art they have given it enough love and attention to make the film an enduring classic.
Maybe the film is over-long with an elongated ending which they could had done without.
