I have always wanted to watch Speed, that 90s hit action movie starring Keanu Reeves as a young police officer. One tasked with preventing a bomb aboard a city bus from exploding if only he could keep it moving at 50 miles per hour or above.
Directed by Jan de Bont and also starring Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper and Jeff Daniels, I found Speed watchable at best. By the end, I wondered if I’d have enjoyed it more had I seen it around the original release date. It’s also likely that Speed just isn’t my favourite kind of action movie/thriller. Whatever the answer, I did appreciate the pace and the handful of clever story elements.
As for my favourite thing about Speed? That has to bewatching a young Keanu Reeves doing a good job in a relatively early role, of course.
If you have not already seen it, and you’re curious enough, you know what to do.
Happy Film Loving,

The Movie My Life 
Loved this movie when it first was released. The theater experience was a blast. Haven’t seen it in years though. Wondering how it holds up.
It may be one of those to leave as that thrilling happy memory of a cinema experience. Or it could still be great. 🤓
It’s a nice movie. Never considered it like something incredible but it is an enjoyable movie and has a very nice Reeves on it.
I think that’s a fair summary of it. 🤓
Oh I love this film! Keanu and Sandra, love them!!
I’m glad you like it. 🤓🥂 They are a lovely pair, indeed.
I remember it being very intense, always fun to watch Keanu!
Agreed! 🤓🥂
