A roller coaster of fun.

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2008)

Extremely fun and exhilarating throughout. Reeves and Bullock provide a rare form of chemistry that is usually lacking in the romantic side of action films. Hopper exceeds all expectations in the typical 'Insane villain' role and proves to be a joy to watch. The phrase 'Die Hard on a bus' really does apply perfectly to this one. It's a film that grasps you in the opening scene and refuses to ever let go. I knew that they were going to survive some of the scenes (i.e. Jumping the gap on the bridge) but I was still on the edge of my seat in anticipation. It's very unique for an action film to give me that kind of quality and it certainly proves to be an extremely tense and thrilling ride. Certainly one of the best of the action genre.
