Speed

Probably the best of the "Die Hard in a _________" action subgenre, this is a slick, efficient, well-constructed thriller that manages to sustain its breakneck pace for its entire runtime. Great adrenaline-fueled entertainment.

One of the best action films. It's adrenalin-pumpingly fast-paced, with a premise as simple and pure as its title. Traven is no McClane (and Keanu no Bruce) but it almost matches the masterpiece that is 'Die Hard' for entertainment value. No need for the second ending, though.

Of the many "Die Hard on a ______" movies, this "Die Hard on a bus" thriller is the best, and one of the best action movies of the 90s. Dumb? Fuck you, I don't give a shit, I didn't watch it for cerebral stimulation. FAST CARS EXPLOSIONS GUNFIGHTS DECAPITATION ROGUE ELEVATORS COPS GONE BAD LEAPING INTO CARS LEAPING OUT OF CARS KEANU REEVES HOLY SHIT

It's so good that cut away shots to a speedometer are thrilling. The music sounds like Metal Gear Solid Sandra Bullock in this

Speed (aka 'The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down') just barely manages to overcome the awful acting, cliched dialogue and ludicrous stunts with some solid pacing to be mildy entertaining. What masochist casts Reeves and Bullock together anyway? I guess her annoying presence distracts from his 'acting'.
