The Speed movie is one of the most brilliant action movies ever to be made. It was also one of the most unique action movies; think about it, if someone told you to go watch a movie that has a bus filled with people going round the city, what would you think. But its not just a bus filled with people going round to city for sightseeing; its a bus that has a bomb waiting to blow off with a psychopath villain watching this at home and enjoying the passengers ordeal.
The brilliance of the movie lies in its simplicity. One of the citys well known psychopaths Howard Payne, acted by Dennis Hooper, is really upset that his last endeavor was ruined and wants to set things straight. He plants a bomb on one the citys transportation buses. This bomb is not like other bombs weve heard of; it will get activated once the bus reaches a speed of above 50 mph and will only blow up if the speed falls below 50 mph. This is a difficult ask for the people on the bus as they try to work their way around the citys heavy traffic and also over an under construction flyover.
The main character of the movie is the character of Officer Jack Traven played by Keanu Reeves who gets on the bus to save the day. Howard Payne actually sets up Jack for this task as the officer had spoilt Paynes last plot. Keanu Reeves comes up with a strong performance and blends into his role really well. Apart from his acting, the stunts he pulls off are just outright brilliant, especially the one where he goes under the fast moving bus to try to get rid of the bomb.
Annie Porter who is one of the unfortunate passengers on the bus, gets the job of being the temporary driver, after the driver gets shot in the shoulder, is played by the beautiful Sandra Bullock. Shes given the tough task of keeping the bus going at above 50 mph in difficult circumstances and plays her role to perfection. Her character portrays a mixture of a tough and an emotional person. At one point she thinks that she has run over a baby in a stroller but to her relief soon finds out that the stroller was filled with something else.
All in all, the movie has some great performances from the main stars and director Jan de Bont showcases his brilliance with some well directed action scenes. In addition, the character of Payne provides some humor and some really catchy phrases that stay in your head even after the movie is over.
Two Oscars were awarded to this fabulous movie, but to be honest it deserved more.
