Topnotch genre flick.

Rating: 9/10 (13 February 2001)

It's hard to find a more compelling, thrilling, as well as entertaining action package than "Speed". The plot is a simple yet an ingenious and effective way to create nonstop action without too much of unnecessary violence. Keanu Reeves does actually a pretty good job and the chemistry between him and Sandra Bullock is enviable, while Dennis Hopper makes for a convincing lunatic. Although the suspense level is thick all the way through, the film feels a bit too long. Regardless of that, "Speed" may very well be the best representer of its genre.
