Speed

Pros: Entertaining action movie with good villain.
Cons: Not much character development. Reeves's acting.

Pros: High octane fun, brilliant directing, cinematography and editing
Cons: Actors don't get a real lot to do

Jan De Bont's pre-Twister thrill ride is a non-stop, roller coaster of a film that doesn't let up to give you a chance to catch your breath or pay much attention to its flaws. A very different, clever action flick, Speed propelled Keanu Reeves from...

Pros: Plenty of nonstop explosive action!!
Cons: None to date.

WHY SPEED? This movie hit the theaters back in '93 almost like a runaway locomotive, freight train or like a 777 jumbo jetliner barreling down the runway for take-off!! It took off to new heights and had attracted all who were looking ...

Pros: Innovative, well staged action set pieces. Reasonably good performances.
Cons: May be too loud and intense for some. Little basis in reality.

I have emerged from my self imposed house arrest, ready to take on the world again; not bad after a day of bad cinema, Spago's take-out invalid menu, and Nurse Tameka's care. I have much to do today. I have to go over the 'Sink For Your Supper' numbers...

Pros: An action classic done right.
Cons: No cons in this baby!

Villain: Pop quiz. There's a bomb on a bus. Once the bus goes 50 MPH the bomb is armed. If it drops back below 50, it blows up. What do you do?
Cop: I'd wanna know what bus it was.

There you have it. One of the classic lines from one of...

Pros: Great cast of actors
Cons: Some unreal parts....gee really?

OK, I know this is an older movie. But it's one of my favorites and I just watched it again the other night for the first time in quite awhile. I had forgotten some key parts of it, so it was fun to watch it again.

Keanu Reeves, Sandra...

Pros: The cast, direction, action scenes, script, musical score, the finale.
Cons: A bit too unrealistic, but then again, what action movies aren't?

Pros: Full out action, superfast pace, extremely funny, great score
Cons: Some wooden lines and performances

Now that we're 8 years past, it's pretty safe to say that 1994's biggest surprise hit was Jan De Bont's action hit, Speed. The movie thought to be Bill and Ted on a bus even got two oscars for it's outstanding sound effects. Now that 8 long years have...

Pros: Full of action and one-liners from beginning to end
Cons: Nothing significant

Yes, this is a real quiz, folks. So get your pencils and paper ready. No looking at your neighbor's paper. All right, here we go:

1. Name the character that Jeff Daniels played in Speed.
2. What was the number of the ill-fated...

Pros: premise, score, cast, direction, action
Cons: plot holes...but who really cares?

"So, I saw this movie about a bus that kept speeding around town, and it had to keep its speed above 50 miles per hour, and if the bus's speed dropped below 50 miles per hour, it would explode. I think it was called...'The Bus That Could Never Slow...

Pros: new idea; Action!
Cons: not nearly as good on video

There are certain movies that change your perception of the cinema. They introduce a totally different idea to you. You think, why didn't anyone ever think of that before. Speed is one of those movies. I'm sure somewhere down the line, somebody made...

Pros: Simple story line, no swearing actually said, no sex scenes
Cons: Not really for under 12

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock are definately what really puts the likeable qualities to this sort of movie. I also think that Dennis Hopper was great as the bomber.
This movie is about a terrorist, who feels that the government ripped him off and...

Pros: Great acting, good lighting, terrific camera moves - Lots of suspense.
Cons: None

I really enjoyed SPEED as an action/adventure movie. It deliver on suspense, action, and explosions.

Keanu Reeves is a ingenious SWAT officer whom wittingly out maneuvers Dennis Hopper (a disgruntle ex cop)plans for disaster. When Dennis...

Pros: plot, characters, suspense
Cons: none

Speed is an action movie starring Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves. It starts with the antagonist, Howard Payne, placing a bomb on a service elevator. It goes off with many people inside, so the swat team was called in. When they get the people out...
