Speed

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2005)

Speed is a great, nail-biting, top- notch thriller literally from beginning to end, with a stellar cast.From elevators, convertibles, buses,subways,and more this movie in my opinion is the greatest thriller ever made. Dennis Hopper plays Howard Payne an crippled and crazy terrorist bomb expert.Keanu Reeves (perfectly) plays Jack Travens a young LAPD hot-shot/SWAT ace and Jeff Daniels plays Harry, Jack's responsible partner. In the beginning of the movie, Payne hijacks an elevator by attaching bombs to it. Harry and Jack ruin his plans and save all the people. Moments later they find out that the terrorist is near and in the building.They finally meet with him and before Jack can kill him he commits suicide with bomb strapped to his chest. He appears to be dead (obviously) and the next day he receives a call from Payne saying that he is hijacking a bus with bombs but with a twist. The bus has to stay above 50 mph. The movie takes on from there, with twists and turns,hidden secrets,a love affair and an awesome ending. Speed is a movie you do not want to miss.
