One of the Greatest Action movies ever made!

Rating: 9/10 (9 April 2010)

"Speed" is really just an awesome adrenaline-pumping action flick, Keanu Reeves is great as the hero, Dennis Hopper is great and crazy as the villain, and Sandra Bullock is really good as the leading lady. Jan De Bont did a great job when he Directed this, and I always enjoy this movie from beginning to end.
In the opening L.A two police officers, Jack Travis (Keanu Reeves) and Harold Temple (Jeff Daniels), are trying to save a group of people from a broken Elevator shaft, that is about to fall, the cause for the problems are caused because outside the shaft the cable wires have been rigged with bombs, and will explode, they save the people and find the man who set the bomb, they than find the bomber (Dennis Hopper) and Harold gets shot in the arm while the Bomber holds him hostage, the Bomber runs and the part of the building they are in explodes, from the Bomber's dynamite. Later.... Both cop's win medals for saving the hostages, and than go to celebrate. The next day Jack is getting a coffee at a local café when a bus explodes, and a nearby payphone rings, he picks it up, and the Bomber from the building tells Jack that he has a bomb rigged on a bus, the sensor for the bomb will turn on when the bus goes above 50 MPH, and after that can not explode until the bus slows down to 50 MPH, will Jack make it in time to help the Innocent people on the bus...
This film is an absolute thrill-ride from beginning to end, and I never get tired of watching it, the actors all do such a great job, Jeff Daniels is hysterical, Sandra Bullock really was a good choice for her character, Joe Morton really does great as the Captain of the police squad, and Dennis Hopper is one of my all-time favorite villains, the dialogue was well written for this movie, and has a really good line (in my opinion) at the end, but it is kind of corny.
"Speed" is a very enjoyable film, i recommend it to any action movie lover, or just an awesome Friday night flick,what are you doing reading my review, go rent it, buy it, it's a blockbuster.
