    One of those rare movies that is a joyride from the first minute to the last, good chemistry between the two main characters, and the bad guy blows Hans Gruber out of the park.

    kind of a crappy action flick overall, but this is the first movie I saw with Dennis Hopper, so i have to give it some cred, and thanks for that.

    Im not into this kind of action flix. The cast, except mr. hopper, doesnt help a lot. Keanu and Sandra are not convincing actors to me.

    Action movies aren't really my cup of tea, and were I to watch one this would probably not be it. That being said there are movies that are much worse in this genre, but that's not really saying much now, is it?

    Even though they are in a bus for most of the movie it's fast paced and keeps your attention. Favorite Keanu Reeves movie next to the Matrix.

    One of my most favorite movies of all time. This movie made me take Keanu Reeves more seriously as an actor. He really prepared well for this role.

    Jan de Bont's epic bus chase movie about a captive busload of people set off speeding toward destruction is exciting and fun. Has an all star cast including Alan Ruck and Keanu Reeves. Sandra Bullock rises to stardom in this.

    Speed aka Die Hard on a bus is a fast paced action thriller about madman Dennis Hopper who has planted a bomb on an L.A city bus, once the bus goes above 50 mph the bomb is armed once it goes below 50 their screwed. LAPD hotshot Keanu Reeves to the rescue who attempts to save the day along with 'wildcat' driver Sandra Bullock at her irritating best (change your facial expression woman!). Good mindless action blockbuster.

    Sandra Bullock and Reeves have great chemistry, although it's more like Die Hard on a bus than original. Really great action!

    A good action movie with an original angle. Although Bullock was on her game it seemed a little as if Reeves was on auto pilot.

    How many things can go wrong on one bus... or train for that matter?
    Not the best movie I?ve ever seen that?s for sure.

    Good film with great performances by Jeff Daniels and Dennis Hopper. It is somewhat brought down by the over acting macho Keanu Reeves.

    Yes, it's part of the "Die Hard on a..." list, but it's the best of the bunch. Feature a pre-Matrix Keanu Reeves, it's the ultimate example of telling a story on the run. The movie never stops to catch its breath. Endlessly inventive, and filled with nerve racking stunts, it actually made Keanu look tough. Sorry Matrix fans, but Neo is kind of a doofus. Director Jan De Bont crafted a perfect action movie. It literally never stops moving. This is also the movie that made Sandra Bullock a star. Her character balances capability and vulnerability without ever sacrificing her credibility. Dennis Hopper is...well...Dennis Hopper. He does his thing, but the villain of this movie is more of a macguffin than an actual threat. He's there just to put the hero through his paces. The challenges come from everyday surroundings that get in the way of a passenger filled bus that can't slow down. So it doesn't, and neither does the movie. An action classic.

    A terrific action movie that never lets up. Followed by one of the worst sequels of all time, Speed 2: Cruise Control.

    Plot Summary for
    Speed (1994/I)
    LAPD cops Jack Traven and Harry Temple rescue a group of executives trapped in a sabotaged elevator, thus foiling mad bomber Howard Payne's ransom demands. In retaliation, Payne sets a new challenge for Traven: a bomb on a city bus which will arm itself when the bus reaches 50 mph, and which will explode if the bus drops below that speed or if any of the passengers try to escape.
