Explosive Stuff!
Review of Speed DVD by LIZKEMPO

Advantages: Great Action Film!
Disadvantages: Oldie but a goodie!

Speed, 1994, UK Rating 15, Run Time 116 Mins I had actually forgotten how good this movie is, and how much I fancied Keanu Reeves! The Story Officer Jack Tavern (Keanu Reeves) and Detective Harold 'Harry' Temple (Jeff Daniels) are awarded medals of bravery after saving some people trapped in a elevator with a bomb waiting to go off in side. They think that the person who set up this attack has died but when a bus explodes in front of Jack ... Read review

Bill and Teds Bogus Journey
Review of Speed DVD by mikeydred

Advantages: Superb Action Film That Doesnt Let Up For A Minute
Disadvantages: Totally Unbelievable... But So What

This was the film that was to transform Keanu Reeves from loveable air guitar geek Ted "Theodore" Logan into credible hard action man. Shorn of hair, but not of accent , it doesn't quite come off. His partnership with Jeff Daniels almost mirrors the Bill & Ted union, Jeff being the Bill S. Preston Esquire (Alex Winter in the Bill & Ted Films), with lots of wise cracks amid the explosion. Sandra Bullock is added as the love interest, but you get the ... Read review

Shoot the Hostage
Review of Speed DVD by itscharlotte

Advantages: Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and Dennis Hopper. Gripping storyline.
Disadvantages: non that I can think of.

...watch the film? Although, I think Speed is brilliant, you should look out for some fairly funny mistakes. In the scene with the gap in the freeway, the film is played in fast forward, to make it look like the bus is moving faster than it actually. There's nothing unusual looking about this until you look closely and watch the police in the background who are also in fast forward!! Also if you look at the missing part of the bridge which is part ... Read review

I Feel The Need The Need For Speed
Review of Speed DVD by Douglas334

Advantages: Great action, acting, plot and well everything really
Disadvantages: Nothing

Speed is an absolutely awesome action movie. Jan De Bont was at the helm for this one and has produced a stunning movie. It has got the lot action, great acting, great plot and a little romance too. What more could you want? The plot is pretty original. There’s a bomb on a bus and when the bus goes 50 MPH it will arm itself then if it drops below 50 it blows. So why is their a bomb on this bus? Well an extortionist (Dennis Hopper) is after ... Read review

The Bus That Cannot Slow Down
Review of Speed DVD by polydeuces

Advantages: Lots of action
Disadvantages: Becomes too much at times

The film Speed is an action film which once the plot has been established simply races along. When you consider that the premise of the movie is that a bomb on a bus will blow up if the speed of the bus drops below 50mph then it has to hasn’t it. The films stars Keanu Reeves as a cop Jack Traven and Sandra Bullock as Annie Porter who are those on the bus trying to avoid it exploding. The villain who is trying to extort money is played by ...

Enjoyable Film, but no Classic
Review of Speed DVD by jpegington

Advantages: Good Fun, enjoyable
Disadvantages: Nothing Special

...is really 12 years since Speed came out and just felt that I should do a review on this film. I have broken the review down into separate parts to make it easier to review it. The Cast: Firstly I should say that I am not and have never been a great fan of Keanu Reeves, but he does give a reasonable performance in this film. He comes across as the hard but friendly likeable cop who is just trying to get the job done quite well. Sandra Bullock is ... Read review

Speed - it surprised me
Review of Speed DVD by Yeahmate

Advantages: Entertaining, good plot, stunts
Disadvantages: nothing serious

...face real problems keeping the speed up, with all the traffic, but the hero policeman Jack Traven (played by Keanu Reeves in his first major role) manages to get on the bus. This creates a bit of a scene with another passenger who thinks hes going to be arrested, and the driver is wounded, so Annie (Sandra Bullock), takes over at the wheel. All the time, Traven has to communicate with the bomber (Dennis Hopper), who it turns out is an old enemy ... Read review

A film about a bus journey....
Review of Speed DVD by Sarah_Louise

Advantages: Not too predictable, keeps you on the edge of your seat (at times)
Disadvantages: None really

...After all, with all the speed camera’s around these days you’d get into quite a bit of trouble with the police, sorry, cops! Needless to say, they get themselves in to quite a few close shaves along the way. \\ // \\ // ( o o ) | | O (Ok, so that was supposed to be Rudolph, but it seems to have evolved into a new species, Wile Coyote crossed with a rabbit!)

Speed
Review of Speed DVD by chuckb

Advantages: exellent film with great characters
Disadvantages: none

Speed stars the fantastic Keanu Reeves and the wonderful Sandra Bullock, along with Dennis Hopper. The main part of the film is based around 'the bomb on the bus', but we also see a bomb on an elevator at the beginning. So basically, the entire film is based aroud a bomb on something! Harry and Jack (Keanu) are two cops who unfortunately are given the task of trying to save a lot of people on an elevator attached to a bomb, or the other way ... Read review

Pop Quiz
Review of Speed DVD by SmartRich

Advantages: great storyline and sound track
Disadvantages: the odd unbelievable moment

Few films, aside from Die Hard, can deliver the adrenaline rush that come from this Keanu Reeves movie. While not usually a fan of Mr Reeves, his wooden acting actually fits in with this extremely solid movie. Everything about the film pumps with adrenaline. From the intense Soundtrack by Mark Mancina, to the momentum of the storyline. If you haven’t seen the film already then you’re in for a real treat. The movie opens with an ... Read review

Hang on to your SEATS!
Review of Speed DVD by Mohammed

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Here's good weird news for all you skeptics who never thought you'd live to see Die Hard set on a bus. Keanu Reeves is a Los Angeles SWAT cop against whom a flamboyant local terrorist (Dennis Hopper) has a personal grudge. Sandra Bullock, cute as a bug in the role that made her a star, rides and eventually drives the bus in danger of being blown up. The bus, and the film, roars along like a missile and come to a dizzy crescendo on L.A.'s unfinished ... Read review

Speed-What a great film
Review of Speed DVD by nickar

Advantages: Great film
Disadvantages: Gets boring after watching it 10000 times

Speed is a great film-need I say more! The main reason I like speed is because of the way the story pans out. Unlike most action films, there is just the one main bit. For example, in Speed instead of the train bit at the end, it would just end with the passengers being rescued. Instead there is the 'final battle' on top of a train (always good!) and Dennis Hopper gets his head knocked off by a light! The actors are great. I have always preferred ... Read review

IRK THE MOVIE PURISTS - 'SPEED' IS A COOL MOVIE!
Review of Speed DVD by coleecip

Advantages: A complete action movie - a cracking romp of a film
Disadvantages: The ending is fine, but could be better

Any movie which takes itself serious;y (however good) will always have to watch itself be lampooned. Howevere "Speed" is above having to pay attention to movie purists who just want to rip a film apart on minutiae. We all know that in real life Keano Reeves would never be a bomb expert. We know coaches will find it hard to keep to 50mph and they certainly can't jump gaps in motorways over 20 feet. This is however fundamentally pointless, this ... Read review

Quality film you will enjoy
Review of Speed DVD by MByford

Advantages: Intense story
Disadvantages: Not to many scenes

This is a feeling in this film that Sandra Bullock is in the prime of her acting career because I think she done a great job in this intense action film you can follow from the very start to the very end. There are many twists and turns to keep you intrigued as to which way the film will next go. I personally like this film because of this. The plot of the film iinvolves a man who has placed a bomb on a bus carrying about 15 normal citizens of ... Read review
