Summary: Keanu Reeves "lives up" to his poor reputation.
Review: Reeves seemed to be on depressants the entire movie--the hostages on the bus were far more entertaining and talented than he ever was in this film. I'm still aghast at how utterly terrible Reeves' acting was. It defies all comparison, explanation, and comprehension. I felt immensely sorry for Bullock, having to kiss him and all. Ewww. I can't believe how popular this movie was.

Summary: Never has riding a bus been so exciting!!!!
Review: The first time I saw this film, I felt like I had been on a fun and breath-taking thrill ride. From beginning to end, this great action film moves so quickly and so interestingly that you feel like YOU are on that bus. Keanu Reeves is good as a cop, named Jack Traven, trying to stop a disaster that will kill an unsuspecting busload of people. Throw in Dennis Hopper as a really good psycho villian and Sandra Bullock as Annie, a young woman who becomes a reluctant hero, and you have the making of the best action film of the 90s. When I watch this now, I still enjoy the fast pace of Jan DeBont's direction and the chemistry between Keanu and Sandra is charming and real. This film spawned a sequel---don't bother, it was bad!---stick to the original. You can't improve on a film like this!

Summary: Superb action thriller
Review: "Speed" is a frenetic action thriller that far surpasses all of the action movies you've ever seen-kinetic energy, electrically charged screenplay (which is helped by fully fleshed-out characters) and is suspenseful from the beginning to the last few minutes. Keanu Reeves plays a SWAT team memeber trapped on a city bus with a handful of compassionate passengers and a woman who got a ticket for speeding (Sandra Bullock). The movie gets complicated when the madman bomber (Dennis Hopper) who has installed a bomb that will go off if the bus doesn't surpass 50 m.p.h. if his demands aren't met within a couple of hours. The movie is superb-in it's cinematography and sound editing (which it rightfully snatched an Oscar for the sound editing), superb dialogue, fine score, and the utter simplicity of the plot that leads to a satisfying suspense finale in a runaway subway. Avoid the sequel. Even though it has the same director and Sandra Bullock in it, it's downright stupid and the PG-13 rating on it seems to insult the masterpiece that this suspense thriller is. Rated R for violence and language.

Summary: Gripping from start to finish
Review: In many ways 'Speed' was a surprise hit. The director wasn't big-league, the leads were relative unknowns and it was original, something that unfortunately can mean the kiss of death for several good movies out there. Basically, this is an absolutely gob-smacking movie that will grip you from the very beginning. The central plot revolves around a bomb on a bus that will blow if the bus goes below 50 miles per hour. Jack (Reeves) is the cop on the bus that has to work a way out of the situation before the bus runs out of petrol, whilst partner Jeff Daniels is on the trail of Dennis Hopper's terrorist. On the bus is feisty passenger Sandra Bullock, who gets behind the wheel after something happens to the driver. The movie manages to grab hold of its audience's attention from the beginning with a scene involving a lift full of passengers that it just about to go careening to the bottom floor. Yet it's the story with the bus that is truly a masterstroke in holding the viewer. We feel the heightened panic alongside the bus passengers and scream, cover our eyes and jump when they do. The winning script was almost completely written by an (uncredited) Joss Whedon, who proves that his excellence expands beyond 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'. In addition to this, 'Speed' is held together with an absolutely stellar performance from Sandra Bullock as panicky Annie. She manages to keep the audience alongside her whilst perfectly pulling off her act as an ordinary person stuck in a nightmarish situation. Also, Keanu Reeves is backed up by this and his bland depiction of the hero fades into the background. Although the movie does tend to go a little bit too far towards the end, there's no denying that it's a powerfully gripping movie that is well worth seeing.

Summary: Avoid the Bus!
Review: This is one of favorite movies of all times. Truly this is better than the sequal. Don't buy the second one, this is the better of the two. With Keanu Reeves as the head man, its worth it. Good movie, a lot of suspense, and action too. Avoid the traffic and get this movie cause what you going to do, hot shot?

Summary: Intense action
Review: superb acting by Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Jeff Daniels, Joe Morton, Sandra Bullock, make this an absolutely intense thriller. everything justt seems to click on time and on target in Speed. One of Keanu's best of all time especially before his most famous role in the matrix. My favorite part in this stellar movie is when they jump over the 50 foot gap i also like when Jack(Keanu Reeves) goes underneaththe bus and tries to dismantle the bomb on an extremely low lying platform. Dennis Hopper makes for a good villian in this one.

Summary: The best action movie of all time!!!
Review: The name says it all, this is an intense film from start to finish, it never lets up!, it begins with a scene in a high-rise where people are leaving work for the day, as they get on the elevator, they become targets of a mad bomber who motivation is to extort money, Dennis Hopper is at his best as the mad bomber, Keanu Reeves is a swat team member called in to stop Hopper, which he does, but just barely, he is soon given a medal for his heroic display, but his celebration is short-lived as Hopper who is still a bit ticked off about his plan gone wrong decides to taunt Reeves & graciously puts his skills to the test, a bus soon explodes as a way to get Reeves' attention, soon Hopper is taunting Reeves about his next plan to blow up another bus that Reeves can stop if he pursues it, Reeves soon finds it only to discover that it has passed 50 miles per hour(if it drops it explodes)he now has to keep it above, how he boards the bus is a sight to see. Sandra Bullock is a passenger who unwillingly has to take the wheel when the driver is shot by another passenger who thinks Reeves is on to get him, he is soon disarmed & the action begins, Police & News helicopters are soon above & Hopper watches with joy on T.V. Reeves & his fellow officers make several attempts to disarm the bomb, but fail, Hopper realizes this & creates a diversion to lure Reeves' partner Harry (Jeff Daniels) to a location to kill him & many other cops, then he taunts Reeves some more, Hopper is definately his nastiess here & he does not ever flinch hardly, eventually Reeves creates a diversion of his own a fools Hopper, but before he can breathe a sigh of relief Bullock is kidnapped by Hopper who is wearing a police uniform that implies that he used to be cop that was let go because of a mishap,which explaines his resentment toward cops, him & Reeves eventually fight atop a commuter train that Hopper has hijacked, he is killed & Reeves now has to get Bullock who was handcuffed to a steal beam off, Reeves & Bullock have unique chemistry that works well here, A great film from start to finish!!!!

Summary: One of the best suspense flicks
Review: Speed. Just the name gets you wondering. Well, this movie speeds right along. Never a dull moment, never stopping for breath. Right from the beginning, when they show the elevator shaft, it is full of suspense. Keanu Reeves delivers one of his best performances. Sandra Bullock becomes a known name - this is her breakthrough hit. Dennis Hopper is the perfect villian. Great movie. Pick it up if you are bored and need a little rush in your life.
