"Speed" kills!

Rating: Null/10 (22 April 2003)

SPEED (1994) ***1/2 Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra
Bullock, Jeff Daniels, Joe Morton, Alan Ruck. High octane
action-thriller with hotshot bombsquad cop Reeves battling wits
and time with mad bomber Hopper, who's rigged a city bus full of
passengers with explosives set to blast if it fails to keep at 50
mph! Far-fetched maybe, but non-stop thrills giving the genre a
much needed shot of adrenaline and nerve shattering humor.
Reeves is great as the buff hero, Hopper over-the-top perfect as
the villain and Bullock is wonderfully spunky as the passenger/driver trying to keep them all alive. Eye-popping visuals
and one helluva stunt involving a leap of faith. "Speed" kills!
