An unrealistic but totally exciting thrill ride.

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2005)

Although the story line behind this movie was a tad over the top(a terrorist rigs a bus with a bomb that won't let the bus go below 55 miles an hour) you will definitely not fall asleep. It wasn't a deep spiritual movie, and you won't get any life lessons from it, but I thought it was fun, edge of your seat, and a perfect escape. The acting on Keanu Reeve's part is not wonderful but Sandra Bullock and Dennis Hopper save him. There is a bit of comedy involved and you will find the movie amusing. If you like constant action, and explosions you will love this movie. Also check out Die Hard, Phone booth, and Con Air. They may not be wonderful movies but if action is what you are looking for that is where you'll find it.
