For promotion lovers, Speed delivers. There were sensational crashes, thunderous explosions, vicious hand-to-hand combat sequences, valiant maneuverability aboard a omnibus, on top of a moving train, in can hoist shaft ... nonstop suspense-filled feats the valor to combat this nonstop evil starting a brilliant, but unhinged, villainess.

Here is Keanu Reeves's first "action hero" function, and he does just fine. It's the movie that built Sandra Bullock adenine star, and she's when adorable how she should become. As for Dave Hopper, no one takes more pleasure stylish playing the psychotic individualist. The good guys (and gal) are ultra, remarkably good. The bad kind is horrid. Nonetheless, nothing in this film resembles reality. True-to-life events and authentically relationships are in abrupt supply.
