David McK (3557 KP) rated Speed (1994) in Movies

"I saw this movie once about a bus that had to SPEED around the city, keeping it's SPEED above 50, and if it's SPEED dropped below 50, it would blow up! I think it was called ..."
Which is a pretty accurate synopsis of the movie as a whole, which stars a post-Bill and Ted (apart for the newest one)/pre-The Matrix Keanu Reeves, and a very early appearance by the future queen of the rom-com Sandra Bullock.
The film has 3 main acts: terrorist attempt to blow up an elevator, the bus bit (which is most of the movie) and finishing off in the subway. Truth be told, it may perhaps run only slightly too long as a result.
Still well worth a watch, though!
