Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, action thriller: I really don't know why it's taken me so long to watch 'Speed'. This is a phenomenal action film! It deserves all the credit it gets and some more.
The plot goes: the criminal of the movie has put a bomb on a bus, it will only detonate under two rules. Rule one: the bus cannot go under 50mph. Rule two: no one is allowed to get off the bus. The terrified passengers are held hostage as an LA cop jumps on and tries to save the day. With traffic restrictions, scared hostages, a timed bomb, an unhinged criminal and an awaiting ransom; 'Speed' is a hectic race against time with nonstop action in this solid, easy to follow plot.
The action within this film is crazy. There were multiple times, I forgot to breathe. First 20 minutes of this film and my heart was already racing. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen, I was hooked. It's such a thrilling film, there were many moments of complete shock and unpredictable action. One thing after another, 'Speed' keeps up the action for the entire film.
'Speed' is an absolutely cracking film. For a film made in 1994, it's incredibly well done. It's fantastically acted, Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are amazing in their roles. Keanu Reeves is definitely the standout, but Sandra Bullock is a close second (forever a fan of her's). All the other actors were also incredible, it felt so realistic when watching, I was constantly in panic for the characters on screen. I applaud this film, it was truly excellent and I recommend it to anyone who appreciates an action movie!
