Speed stars Keanu Reeves and Jeff Daniels as a pair of SWAT police officers who find themselves put to the ultimate test when a bomber played by Dennis Hopper hijacks a bus with a bomb that if it goes below 50 miles an hour, it explodes and now the chase begins to stop it.
Which is also the problem I had with the film, its pretty much a non stop chase movie that combines elements from both Die Hard and Mad Max 2, which I consider the two finest action movies ever made, here its all just action and thrills and chases which become all too familiar and repetitive, but I didn’t hate this movie altogether as there were some good performances but even they couldn’t lift what I thought was another run of the mill action film that goes non stop and has no plot to base itself on.
In short, this deserves a 2 and a half out of 5.
