Movie Reviews of Speed (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Sandra Bullock's catapult to superstardom!
Summary: 5 Stars
Very few people remember Sandra Bullock starring on the short-lived CBS sitcom Working Girl which was based on the 1988 20th Century Fox film of the same title starring Harrison Ford,Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver. Very few remember Bullock's appearance in the 1991 film LOVE POTION #9. This film catapulted her to superstardom. She stars opposite Keanu Reeves and all hell breaks loose with both of them recklessly driving commercial buses. In the twelve years since this film debuted on the big screen,Bullock relentlessly made films to this very day. Also back in 1994,Hollywood had another megastar,Jim Carrey whose starring debut ACE VENTURA-PET DETECTIVE grossed over $5 million at the box office. Unfortunately,SPEED 2,released in 1997,never acuumulated audiences as large as the ones who saw the first film.Movie Review: Dennis Hopper steals the show
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent concept here, virtually the entire film takes place at top speed, and afterwards you get the feeling you have been on the chase for 2 hours also. Reeves and Bullock are fine, but the sinister performance from Hopper is by far the most memorable. This was during the time he was filming those acid-trip NIKE commercials, and his character here fits that bill. He manages to shine despite being in relatively few of the scenes. Maybe it was those commercials or other films he made, but he was entirely believable and perfect in the part. It had excitement, had a solid plot, but most of all, had Dennis Hopper at his sinister best.
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.Movie Review: An Awesome Action Film!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome film with plenty of suspense and action! Everybody does an awesome job. A few days after stopping a mad bomber named Howard Payne, Jack Traven is about to have a very bad morning because he finds out that Payne has put a bomb on a city bus, and if the bus goes below 50 MPH, the bus will explode, so Jack jumps aboard the bus and tries to keep everyone calm and help a woman named Annie Porter drive the bus. They must drive through rush hour, and jump a huge gap in the road. Will Jack be able to save the passengers and stop the bad guy? I highly recommend SPEED!!!Movie Review: Hold on tight!
Summary: 5 Stars
Speed starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock is still the best action movie of all-time. This film was released in 1994 and still to this day, Speed never grows tepid or outdated. How can you not love Sandra Bullock? This film put her on the map, she's spunky, fearless, and funny as Annie. So glad Reeves got to play a serious guy who turns into a hero, anyone remember Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? (so not the movie for him). If you enjoy a good action film then Speed will be your new best friend. A must-have!
