Speed

Speed DVD, this film is a must to see, 🙂Keanu Reeves plays a cop, who has to stop a crazy terrorist from blowing up a bus full of passengers. Tho an older film, its still full of action, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. 😀 great action film with Sandra Bullock. 👍

The DVD Speed was received in great condition no problems with playback on my DVD player no scratches on the actual DVD and also i was able to enjoy this classic action movie with a great performances from Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper, Jeff Daniels, and of course Joe Morton who's great in this movie. Great to watch this movie on it's 30th Anniversary the action the thrills the suspense never stops as soon as the film starts great stunt work great score and most importantly you care about the characters on the bus still a great concept, Pop Quiz "There's a bomb on a bus if it goes below 50MPH the bus explodes what do you do"? They don't make them like they used to is a phrase that gets said a lot but in terms of Speed it is certainly true it's still a thrill ride of a movie after all these years.

Very good film and enjoyed it very much

Speed is a fun action packed ridiculous 90's action movie which propelled Keanu Reeves as a bonafide action star, his only entry into the action genre was 1991 surfing bank robbers Point Break with the late Patrick Swayze. While Keanu will never any oscars and is really an actor - he is a movie star and displays his limited range very well with pure gusto. As one of Sandra Bullock early movies this movie holds up very well in comparison to other 90's Die Hard style flicks - of which there were many following the success of that film. Fox the studio that made Die Hard had been very against doing a Die Hard style movie, but after seeing the success that rival competitors had they bit the bullet and took the shot. The end result is a fun action packed movie, while dumb and stupid entertains you none the less. It may have helped somewhat that they had Die Hard Cinematographer Jan De Bont make his directorial debut with this movie. The action and cinematography is nothing short of spectacular and is presented really well on this definative DVD with crystal clear picture. Keanu wisely passed on the sequel and it is too bad De Bont and Bullock could recreate the fun tense aspect of this movie again. 5 star movie for sheer entertainment you can't beat, up there with Lethal Weapon, Commando and Cobra.

I found this 111 min REGION B/2 DVD very entertaining. It had everything, tension, car chases, twists and turns, non-stop action, excitement, accidents, thrills, romance, stunts, etc. etc. etc. Some parents may find some scenes frightening for young children, plus some bad language is included. Keanu Reeve is portrait as Jack Traven an L.A.P.D. SWAT team specialist who is sent to defuse a bomb that a revenge-driven extortionist (Dennis Hopper) has planted on a bus. But until he does, Jack and one of the bus passengers (Sandra Bullock) must keep the bus speeding through the street of Los Angeles at more than 50 mph - or the bomb will explode. Will he succeed and if so at what cost?

Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) stars as Officer Jack Traven, a professional police officer who is caught up in a deadly game with Howard Payne (Dennis Hopper). Payne puts a bomb on a city bus, and if the bus drops below 50mph, it will explode. Jan De Bont (Twister) delivers twists and turns in this high paced edge of your seat action thriller. A plot which has Oscar winning special effects, Speed will keep you on the edge of your seat with fast buses, trains, lifts and explosive scenes justifying the thriller genre. The plot to keeps you guessing and engaged with character situations essential. Hopper's character is marvellous. One of the best villains I have seen, Howard Payne is in control and a genius at causing problems for the public and police force as he demands money for his trouble. Keanu Reeves also portrays his Officer exceptionally well, portraying him as very professional and organised and adventurous. The relationship between Traven and Payne makes the film even more engaging and exciting as it becomes very personal. It's the suspense which makes this film. As the bus speeds around the city it faces many obstacles in order to get through unscathed and when unbelievable circumstances arise it's up to Traven and the passengers to tackle. When certain scenes have featured you may question the realism of the event and I myself have a few views about that, but the bottom line is that this is a high paced energetic thriller with stunning effects, plot, scenarios, and acting and is not to be missed. a must watch

Very entertaining and a great story and great action scenes

Film d'azione affascinante e ricco di colpi di scena, audio e video ottimi, straconsigliato!

This movie is awesome and very well acted. Anybody who says Keanu Reeves is a stiff with no emotional depth needs to watch this movie. He has some of the best lines and he shows his humorous side as well as his serious side. He can act and this movie proved that a move to action was a very smart move. He, also, was wise to turn down Speed 2 which sucked big time. He lights up the screen and is buff, hot and looking good, not to mention that he looks good in the S.W.A.T. uniform. He is definitely not the character from Bill and Ted here and I liked those too. I have watched this movie at least a dozen times and it never fails to engage me. The chemistry between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock comes across on the screen and they are believable. It is 2 hours of non stop action and if you are a fan Of Keanu Reeves, as I am, then it should be in your movie library. Especially on blu-ray as the movie looks like it was made today not 18 years ago.

Great movie
