Made Sandra Bullock a superstar!

Rating: 8/10 (20 September 2000)

Speed is a highly exciting action movie starring Keaunu Reeves as a SWAT cop in LA on the hunt against a mad bomber played with his usual maniacness by Dennis Hopper, who battles wits against him. Hopper plants a bomb on a transit bus that will blow up if it drops below a certain speed.. Bullock is thrust into the drivers seat and must keep the bus on the road and keep her eyes on the speedometer while Reeves tries to disarm it without Hopper's knowledge.. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and wondering what's going to happen next..The passengers on the bus are very cardboard though.. A great script good acting (even from Keaunu) and excellent pacing give this movie an 8 out of 10
