Lucas C Absolutely brilliant movie, my second favourite action film to Goldfinger. 8.5/10. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/01/24 Full Review Michael V Get ready for rush hour. Speed is a 1994 American action thriller film directed by Jan de Bont (in his feature directorial debut) 🚌 It’s very good! 😀 I’d recommend it 👍🏼 This film doesn’t always make perfect sense, but it sure is a thrilling ride… Jack Traven, an LAPD cop on SWAT detail, and veteran SWAT officer Harry Temple thwart an extortionist-bomber's scheme for a $3 million ransom. As they corner the bomber, he flees and detonates a bomb vest, seemingly killing himself. Weeks later, Jack witnesses a mass transit city bus explode and nearby a pay phone rings. On the phone is that same bomber looking for vengeance and the money he's owed. He gives a personal challenge to Jack: a bomb is rigged on another city bus - if it slows down below 50 mph, it will explode - bad enough any day, but a nightmare in LA traffic. And that's just the beginning.. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Dayton S This is the most number 1 action movie I've ever seen! How exciting and incredible is that? A two thumbs up and a 9.5 to 10 score from me! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Christopher Peter H I've read some of the reviews and tend to disagree with them. It's a good movie but not awesome. I thought some of the acting wasn't that great. It started really well but was a bit slow despite the movie's name in the latter parts. Nevertheless, a watchable and entertaining movie but don't believe it is awesome or a must see. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Steven M The 90's were rife with action movies made for the thrill seekers, whose daily dose of syndicated television just didn't cut it. Director Jan de Bont's 1994 thrill ride Speed was a dominating tour de force of adrenaline. It hit the scene as a blockbuster and left as a memorable journey that almost defies logic. What a movie. Driven by razor sharp performances by Keanu Reeves, Jeff Daniels, and Joe Morton complimented by Sandra Bullock's captivating lively and believable countenance, you are immediately along for the ride. You're never once given a backseat to the action - this is do or die. Every drop of tension, panic, fear, and terror is palpable. This coupled with excellent special effects, cinematography that borders on emotional, encapsulating sound design, a script that doesn't dawdle, and a perfect runtime make for an experience with quality only this combination of factors can deliver. There are no perfect movies. Dialogue in any movie is make or break as far as keeping you roped in. Of course, this is the 90's, and cheesy one-liners and smart quips are a right of passage. Speed is almost aware of this, delivering peppered in lines that are so cheesy that you almost boo at poor Keanu, but it's clear that the dialogue is only a flavor meant to offset our protagonist's abject terror - like a coping mechanism. Speed should not be forgotten - it should be celebrated as an achievement in the oversaturated action movie sphere, where its peers only wish that they could deliver a crash course in adrenaline with half the nitrous that Speed proudly gifts us. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Christos K Doesn't get old! Action blockbuster with sexy romance. Can't find this type of film anymore... so check it out!
