Fast action...

Rating: 6/10 (27 December 2015)

When "Speed" first came out in 1994 it was an impressive movie and a very entertaining one at that, and even today it is still an entertaining movie. I think it is the type of movie that will actually never become outdated or obsolete.
Story-wise "Speed" is fairly simple, but it is the non-stop action and adrenaline that makes it fun, enjoyable and entertaining. A bomb is placed on a metro bus and will explode if the speed of the bus goes under 50 mph.
The cast was an all-out good cast with Dennis Hopper, Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and Jeff Daniels. Dennis Hopper really was the one carrying the movie most of the way.
There is a lot of corny dialogue in the movie, but it is overshadowed by the non-stop action.
"Speed" is a character- and story-driven movie, so don't expect to be blown away, pardon the pun, but an impressive display of CGI or special effects.
If you enjoy a good action movie which requires absolutely no thinking, and if you against all odds still haven't seen "Speed", it can be warmly recommended.
