Just when you though the tosh couldn't get any worse

Rating: 1/10 (2 October 2001)

Many words come to mind when describing this film. Implausible, contrived, dire, pointless.... but I digress. This is the film industry at it's worst. Trying to put two eminently attractive people in leading roles into a film whose plot has more holes than all Arizona's golf courses. I mean, what was the point? I ought to sue - "I maintain that the producers and distribution company did willingly deprive me of two hours of my life which I could have more usefully spent inspecting my navel.
Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock may indeed be cute but they hardly rank highly in the acting stakes. Want better, try your local village Christmas pantomime. The characters are so wooden, I was picking out the splinters for days afterwards. The plot, well what can we say about that? A terrorist who hijacks lifts (elevators to you). Planes - yes, ships - perhaps, maybe, taxis - no, lifts - er.... we are joking aren't we. Then a bus? c'mon guys, hasn't credulity been stretched a little past breaking point here. Then we get a sequel imaginatively entitled, Speed 2 - Cruise Control. Oh dearie me, my sides are splitting at that one. Puulleez.
