“Speed” (1994) is an incredible action movie.

This is a favorite action movie of mine. The writing and directing is just so tight. Not to get punny. But it's all gas no brakes. From start to finish it's exhilarating. Trying to stop the bus in a variety of ways is suspenseful but creates amazing stakes.

You want those on the bus to be okay. You’re happy when they have moments to celebrate as it’s like your on the bus too. I appreciate this movie actually takes time to show how scary situations can bring people together in such a short time.

You root for Keanu to save them. You love hating Dennis Hopper for planting the bombs. It’s all simple but so enjoyable.
