If The Bus Goes Below 50 The Bomb Goes Off!

Rating: Null/10 (9 October 2011)

Director Jan De Bont gives a pulse pounding thriller with Speed. The film is about Jack played by Keanu Reeves being told about a bomb on a bus that has been planted there by retired bomb squad agent Howard Payne played by Dennis Hopper. Jack is told that if the bus goes below 50 miles per hour than the bomb will go off. The bus is being driven by a passenger named Annie played by Sandra Bullock who gets the passengers out of some very hairy situations. The films story is well crafted and played out very nicely the acting is very convincing and Dennis Hoppers performance is very sinister and is a well played madman. If you want a film that will hold you on the edge of your seat the whole time than I recommend Speed.
