Speed, a review by DJ Doena

Director: Jan de Bont

Keanu Reeves    ...    Officer Jack Traven
Dennis Hopper   ...    Howard Payne
Sandra Bullock   ...    Annie Porter
Joe Morton   ...    Capt. McMahon
Jeff Daniels   ...    Det. Harold 'Harry' Temple
Alan Ruck   ...    Stephens

Synopsis: Jack and Harry work with the L.A. Police Bomb Squad and they just managed to save 13 people from a rigged elevator. They believe the bomber to be dead until he calls again. Now he has mined the bus 2525 which will explode as soon as it drives faster than 50 miles per hour and then falls under that speed limit. While Harry tries to find the bomber, Jack tries to rescue the passengers - among them Annie Porter, who drives the bus.

My Opinion: A cool piece of action cinema with a lot of car stunts (and a flying bus!). It's watch-worthy based alone on the sheer amount of things, cars, planes and subways that get destroyed over the course of this movie.

This is a good series. But just not something which really clicked for me. I never had the urge to watch the next episode and if I wouldn't have watched it together with my brother, I am not sure if I would have finished watching it. I never bothered to pick up further seasons.
