Holy plot.

Rating: Null/10 (3 April 2003)

The film wasn't what I expected it to be. The first incident was a bit corny, but once the bus was moving, the film picked up. I have to rate this as probably my favourite action movie, just for the pace of it. A few plot holes, but I didn't get bored, or want to look away. The implausible stunts, throwaway dialogue, Keanu trying to look serious on a bus. All things I would normally associate with a bad film. I can't explain it, there is something about this film which sets it apart from the rest. I suppose it's to do with the constant motion of the bus, never being allowed to stop and draw breath, a constant stream of action. I hadn't seen anything like this before. I can't even think of a film since which has had the pace of this one. Why did they bother trying to make a sequel?
