A terrific action blockbuster

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 1998)

A purely new idea comes out of Hollywood, and it makes a terrific action film. Keanu Reeves was a good choice for the main role as Jack Traven, and he plays it well. Dennis Hopper and Sandra Bullock were also well cast. The plot is simple but is also great, as are the characters and special effects and explosions .If this were an average film, you would think it would end with the bus, but no, they give you more, and this film is totally exhilarating. If you see it, you'll agree. It is a great film that rates 9 out of 10 on my scale. I highly recommend 'Speed'. The sequel is fairly good but doesn't compare with the original.
