Movie Reviews of Speed
Movie Review: STEP ON THE BUS AND LEAVE YOUR BRAIN AT THE DOOR!
Summary: 5 Stars
If ever there was a film that doesn't apologize for being "Hollywood" .....'Speed' has got to be it. This movie delivers action, action and more action to the point of absurdity, but it's a lot of fun. Hopper gives his usual wacko performance once again and Bullock is her usual cute self. Reeves fills in the "hero" shoes fine, but it's the "just one more over the top situation" that makes this film too much! Get the largest bowl in your house and fill it till it spills over with popcorn and enjoy.......don't forget to leave your brain at the door! The DVD transfer looks good, but it's a pretty basic release.
Summary of Speed
Everything clicked in this 1994 action hit, from the premise (a city bus has to keep moving at 50 mph or blow up) to the two leads (the usually inscrutable Keanu Reeves and the cute-as-a-button Sandra Bullock) to the villain (Dennis Hopper in psycho mode) to the director (Jan De Bont, who made this film hit the ground running with an edge-of-your-seat opening sequence on a broken elevator). This is the sort of movie that becomes a prototype for a thousand lesser films (including De Bont's lousy sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control), but Speed really is a one-of-a-kind experience almost anyone can enjoy. --Tom KeoghAction & Adventure DVD Video
