- Ray Hopkin26 novembre 2024Such an exquisite and perfect action movie, with unbelievable chemistry between Reeves and Bullock, and a great deranged performance from Hopper. Considering it's only 3 major set pieces, elevator, bus, train, it shows just how good DeBont is in crafting a spectacular and exciting movie.
- ርልዪረ27 gennaio 2025🚌 They really do not make films like this any more. A defining action film from the 1990's that is so fast, exciting and entertaining from the opening credits to the end. As Keanu Reeves cop tries to save passengers on a bus that has been rigged to explode if the speed of the bus drops below 50mph, this film goes from one brilliant set piece to another, and is directed wonderfully well by Jan Debont. The dialogue is cool and snappy, their is good humour amongst the thrills, a great score, and really good performances from Jeff Daniels, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper as the crazed villian, and of course Reeves, and this is my favourite performance from him. It does not matter how many times you watch this film, just leave your brain at the door for a couple of hours, sit back, turn your sound system up, and enjoy.
- PrimeViews16 agosto 2025So, the other day I decided to rewatch Speed for the first time in quite a long while actually. I'm usually not a big fan of most "classics" (which I define as pre-2000 movies) but this one holds up really well. The pacing is surprisingly good for a movie of its time, most older films are really slow in terms of pacing, but Speed manages the pacing almost perfectly. It never feels boring, right from the get go they throw in an intense sequence, and the intensity is pretty continuous up until the very end. Some people might be against that, since that means the story is pretty simplistic as a result, but I think it works well for this kind of film. Characters are likable, and the villain was actually pretty solid and well portrayed by Denis Hopper. I personally don't have a problem with the third act, some people say it was tagged on and the movie should've ended earlier, but I think that would've been kind of abrupt, and the relationship between the two leads would have felt rushed. I think having this sort of "final showdown" with the villain is appropriate and pretty satisfying. I overall don't really have any meaningful issues with the movie, it's really well paced, with good action, characters, villain, and a solid enough story. The only real nitpick I can come up with is the final line of Sandra Bullock's character. I thought the entire thing with "relationships that stem from intense circumstances don't last" should've been dropped entirely, but it's not a major issue. The only reason I dont give this 5/5 stars is because, even if the movie doesn't have any major issues, I can't quite say I like it more than all the movies I've rated as 4.5/5 stars. Hence why it earns that rating. It's still a blast and an awesome movie that's definitely worth watching.

In un grattacielo un malvivente mina un ascensore perché vuole molti milioni di dollari per salvare coloro che l'ascensore trasporta. L'agente speciale Jack Traven e il collega Harry, esperto di esplosivi, intervengono e riescono a sventare il piano criminale. Irritato per l'insuccesso e per il premio conferito a Jack ed Harry, il malvivente mette una bomba su un autobus pubblico: il mezzo, superando le 50 miglia orarie, innesca un ordigno che esploderà, qualora l'autobus marciasse a velocità inferiore. Jack, avvertito dal folle, riesce a salire sull'automezzo che viene dirottato su un autostrada in costruzione, dopo che è stato consentito all'autista, ferito da un terrorista presente a bordo per caso, di essere trasbordato. Alla guida si pone una donna, Annie, che ha avuto dei guai per eccesso di velocità ma ora deve mettere a frutto tutte le sue qualità di pilota, soprattutto per superare una paurosa interruzione stradale.
