The Film That Put Keanu Reeves On The World Map

Rating: 8/10 (5 August 2014)

Keanu Reeves is one of my most favorite actors ever since i have seen him in matrix back in early 2000s he is not only good looking but can do some serious action & knows the method of dialog delivery specially the timing at proper time not many actors do that,this film came in 1994 i was 4 but if i was older i would have loved to see this in the theater but now thanks to the disc it provides good entertainment,Keanu did some films before this but hardly anyone knew him until director Jan De Bont made his directorial debut in united states,this film put him onto the world map.
Many filmmakers also took inspiration from this film including Indian Cenima in 90s but none comes close to this stunt fest filled carnival ride.
The Plot:Jack is a policeman who is at race against time to save the city from disasters first the elevator,then second thing is a bus which is going to its destination with passengers inside it there is a bomb planted if the speed slows down below 50 the bus will explode & later the underground train all this is happening because of one man Howard Payne who feels cheated by L.A police department as they fired him and did not gave him enough money.
The Cast:great cast i must say all the cops,passengers & Dennis Hopper was a weaker villain but way better then joker in the dark knight 2008,Keanu Reeves did an amazing job here he looks fit & sexy in the role as for Sandra Bullock she was simply stunning her reaction when she is driving the bus & hits a baby carriage filled with cans is excellent.
I wont go in much detail because there is not point i have to say one thing only that this movie includes some of the best stunts ever this is not a john woo film as woo is a action master but this director created a great impact in Hollywood & elsewhere worldwide in 90s.
Overall this is way better then die hard series any time Bruce Willis rocks but this is ultra exiting then those installments my rating for Speed 1994 is 8/10.A Must See
