Still A Fun Action Film - Speed review by GI
One of the great action films of the 90s, a hi-octane thrill ride from start to finish and a film that cemented Keanu Reeves as a movie star. He plays Jack, a hotshot LA cop who, with his mentor/partner Harry (Jeff Daniels) foils a plan by psycho bomber Howard (played with relish by Dennis Hopper) to blow up a group of people he has trapped in an elevator. But Howard has other plans and plants a bomb on a bus that will explode if its speed drops below 50mph. So Jack has to save the day aided by plucky passenger Annie (Sandra Bullock). The film rattles along at a grand old pace and has some fantastic stunts many of which Reeves reputedly performed himself. He and Bullock have a great screen chemistry and like all good action films it's not over even when you think it is. If you've never seen this then seek it out it's wonderful and if you have then time to have another look, you will not regret it.

Fun for all the family! - Speed review by SG
We're watching films with our teenage son at the moment, and it can be a struggle to find films that suit us all. Speed really fitted the bill. There was genuine tension, a fabulous and hilarious villain in Dennis Hopper, and it also helped my son to make sense of that Father Ted episode...
