This movie was so intense and thrilling movie and all the characters will enbrace the thrill of the scenes. This was more than I expected out of the movie and it was great to see the action in the end. The casts were perfect for this type of movie in the end. This is classic hero type action thriller.!! - basilbenz
One of the most explosive and epic action films is Speed! It stars Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, Sandra Bullock, Joe Morton,Jeff Daniels, and Glenn Plummer! Reeves is really good. I like how his character is. Dennis Hopper is excellent! He's funny, he's mean, and he means business! Hopper was perfect in My opinion! Bullock was also very good. Plummer was also is funny and Morton and Daniels also perform good. The action is really great and you never know what to expect. The music by Mark Mancina is good and the direction by Jan de Bont is very good. I think that Speed is an excellent film which is always exciting! If you like the cast mentioned above and want to see Dennis Hopper in a great performance then I strongly recommend that you watch or even buy Speed todayBuckle Up For a Great Ride!

This movie floored me when I first saw it. From the get-go things start happening and never stop until the conclusion. This movie really helped propel Sandra Bullock into the limelight as a star and she is magical in this film and there is some great on screen chemistry with herself and Keanu Reeves.
As for Keanu Reeves he is great in some roles and not so great in others. Maybe he is like Chevy Chase this way and has a limited range where he works best in. Let's just say that he is perfect for this role and Speed is perfect for him. So, so far we have two leading stars that do a really good job and have a great chemistry together. Well, luckilly the storyline and how this movie is shot work really well together. How one element of the story leads to another and how things are shot really add to the suspense. This movie is one that can really draw you in and have you literally on the edge of your couch hoping for the protaganists and wanting to see what comes next.
This movie is one of the flicks that blew me away and offered a unique experience to me upon first viewing. The Matrix did this for me with the cool stop action fighting scenes. Toy Story did it with its immersive CGI world. The Bourne Identity did it with its neat fighting sequences. Speed blew my mind with its varied camera angles and cool premise.
Speed took ideas used in earlier films and combined them in really neat ways. This is one thriller where the director/writer never lets off the gas. Many movies have lulls where the audience can settle down again. These are few and far between in Speed so you find yourself in the same frenzy that the lead characters are experiencing. A very cool experience.
I give this movie a 5 star rating because it succeeds so well in its genre.
