50 miles an hour or boom

Speed (1994)

Directed by Jan de Bont this film stars Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock and Jeff Daniels. An LAPD police officer gets into a deadly game with a crazy bomber who holds a bus full of people hostage.

At the time of release this film was a massive success but it is hard to see why this film was judged to be more than your average action film. A lot of the plot borders on the silly and things like jumping a 50 foot gap with a bus are just ridiculous. Most of the stunts are well done and the acting is OK considering the characters do not have a huge amount of depth.


3/5
