Get on the bus

Rating: 10/10 (22 September 2007)

Keanu Reeves plays the young cop, Jack Traven who has to save the people of the bus with a bomb attached to it.Sandra Bullock is the cute Annie Porter who's driving the bus.And she has to keep the speed above 50 mph or the bus will explode.Dennis Hopper is the insane terrorist, Howard Payne, behind all this.Speed (1994) is the action movie set on a bus.And it really works.Many who may had doubts back then were proved wrong.The second part set on a ship went down, but this is an action masterpiece.Jan de Bont, who worked as a cinematographer in Die Hard (1988) made his directing debut with Speed.Keanu Reeves is just the right man to play the lead.And the chemistry works great between him and the female lead Sandra Bullock.Dennis Hopper makes a perfect psychopath.Jeff Daniels does a terrific job as Det.Harry Temple.Alan Ruck plays one of the scared passengers.This movie is full of thrilling scenes.It starts from the elevator, then they get on the bus and ends in a subway.There's not one second for boredom.Speed is a wild ride from the beginning till the end.
