An excellent action film in which the pace never lets up.

Rating: 8/10 (1 September 1999)

"Speed" is pure action. The film relies more on thinking of obstacles for its protagonists than on a real story, but in this case it actually works. The characters are interesting (Dennis Hopper is terrific as usual), the stunts are spectacular, and the action just keeps coming and coming. Along with "Die Hard" and "True Lies", "Speed" delivers one of the fastest 2+ hours of any film in recent memory.
Fans of action films will definitely not want to miss this one.
