AWESOME!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 1999)

This is a KEWL movie. Had pleasure of seeing it at the flicks. I rate this my favourite action movie, it is just one awesome roller coaster ride from beginning to end!!!!
Not being a Keanu Reeves or Sandra Bullock fan, they did a pretty good job in this flick. Keanu suits action movies, he should be in more! I like him better in this than movies like Bram Stokes Dracula.
The elevator scene was kewl. The line "Jeez, what button did you push?" is one of my favourites. I really felt for the poor saps in the elevator. This MUST rate Number#1 for terrifying elevator experiences in movies!!
Some bits were a bit farfetched ie bus jumping over that huge gap, the part at the end with the speeding subway train, but it did help to make a more EXPLOSIVE story, regardless.
Every time I watch this flick, I still find it exciting. It's a bit of a shame that Speed II was such a stinker, there's not a lot you can do on a ship, but its obvious you can do more on a bus, a subway train and an elevator!!!!
I highly recommend Speed for you speed freaks out there...
