Don't bee too hard on Keanu

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2001)

OK, we all know that Keanu Reeves can't act, and that he's only in films to give the ladies something to look at. Putting that aside, Speed is actually quite a good film and a bit of fun.
Dennis Hopper is excellent - as ever - and Sandra Bullock is passable, in the days before she was *incredibly* annoying.
The high speed chase, the effects [the bus jump particularly] and even the plot were good, and Reeves isn't as bad as he has been elsewhere.
