Summary: Pop Quiz Hotshot!
Review: Starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper and Jeff Daniels, Speed is one of those rare films that comes along every now and than that proves to be better than standard fare. Essentially one big extended action scene, the film's frenetic plot holes. The action never lets up, creating suspense- filled set-pieces and audience excitement. The premise of a bomb on a bus that wil explode if the speed goes below 50 makes for one far-fetched but fun thrill ridr.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Action
Review: Speed one of my favourite action movie beside Die Hard series. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock really shine in this movie. From lift to bus to train, all scenes are exciting! Not to be miss if you like action movies. Highly recommended!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One great ride!
Review: There's not much I can say about it. I'm sure that literally EVERY single person in the USA has seen it in one form or the other, and that everyone liked it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Non Stop Action
Review: I loved this movie, Sandra Bullock is great in it, and now I want to see all of her movies. I would recommend this movie to anyone. If you like romances, there is a little one betweenSandra and Keanu, and there's plenty of action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Action PAcked And There's Even A Story!
Review: SPEED is a fun movie with a lot of action, explosions, action, humor, car crashed, action, suspense and did I mention action? Screen directorial debut of renowned cinematographer Jan De Bont. (Twister, The Haunting, Tomb Raider 2) He did a fantastic job with camera, action capturing and keeping the camera always moving.

The story is very interesting and some incredibly believable performances. Keanu Reeves ( Chain Reaction, The Matrix 1 & 2) and Jeff Daniels (My Favorite Martian, Terms Of Endearment, 101 Dalmations ) play two SWAT officers assigned to rescue several people trapped in a high-rise elevator by a disgruntled ex-police office brilliantly played by Dennis Hopper (Easy Rider, Rumblefish, Hoosiers ). His plan fails and as a result Dennis gets really made and seeks revenge. Enter innocent Sandra Bullock as a regular gal thrown into a situation that makes her character stronger and extremely likeable. Enter the bus, a regular MTA bus that becomes the 'real' star of the movie.

Keanu and Sandra have some great chemistry going and the action that this bus goes through is non-stop. Everything that is thrown at them is figured out rationally and then something totally believable is thrown at them again. AlanRuck (Star Trek: Generations, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Young Guns II ) gives a great performance as an out-of-towner who happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

The DVD extras are great. Several interview sequences with the cast and the director as well as several technical featurettes that explain the 12 busses needed to make this film. There is a music video, trailers, promos, scripts and artwork and storyboards. This film is very technically clear and educational for the novice who really doesn't know much about stunts and filmmaking.

This is a great DVD collection and series and with the commentary Jan De Bont is very enlightening as well. As far as action films this is a good film to have in your collection. 'Speed' this one home. (9-9-02)

Summary: Great >Action
Review: Speed is one of my favourite action movies beside Die Hard series. Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock really shine in this movie. From lift to bus to train, all scenes are exciting! Not to be miss if you like action movies. So forget the bad Sequel Speed 2 - Cruise Control because it is very boring, slow and not exciting, but this one is a masterpiece.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Supreme action...
Review: Part of the reason "Speed" works so well is the way we care for the characters on the runaway bus. They were innocent people going to work and making a living like most everyone else on the planet. We sympathize with them. But that's only part of the reason. The biggest reason is the non-stop thrills and chills that erupt from this Jan De Bont vehicle starring Keanu Reeves and Dennis Hopper. One of the greatest action flicks in the past decade, "Speed" thrusts its audience into a roller-coaster ride filled with explosions, goodguy-badguy banter, humor, and doesn't stop until the action does, never stopping for air, even after the villain faces his demise. It's a superior action flick.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SPEED Kills!
Review: One of the most highly charged action films since Spielbergs RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, the 1994 film SPEED is a model for how action films with fairly realistic situations should be done. Long-Time cinematographer Jan DBont (DIE HARD, THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER) got behind the directors chair for this hair-rising suspense thriller that has a high-tech look and a familiar flair to it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: NON STOP ACTION
Review: I loved this movie. Bullock is great in it, and now I want to see all of her movies. I would recommend this to ANYONE. If you like romances, there is a little one between Sandra and Keanu, and there's plenty of action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie owns you
Review: This movie is a classic and everybody should see it. Sandra's part in the movie is very stupid. But alot of the stuff blows up. So that makes it to a good movie. I think Keanu could do better than Sandra. But that's okay the movie still rocked. It's the best Action Movie next to DIE HARD.
