David F I remember this movie with great fondness from 1994 and I believe I saw it in the theatre more than once at that time. I don’t believe I ever watched it again until now and while it was somewhat less perfect than I remember it, this is still a fantastic thriller which keeps you on the edge of your seat during the whole movie. The scenes of Los Angeles - a skyscraper elevator in peril, overhead shots of a bus speeding down a highway, a ransom drop in a crowded public square - are great and this has a really strong sense of setting in both time and geography. The film unfolds perfectly with just enough excitement, twists, turns, and characters to keep your interest fully enveloped in the story and events. While it isn’t deep, the surface is flawless and the entertainment value of the film is incalculable. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Levon H This movie has everything with a strong premise, cast, and script Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review iain r One of the all.time greats of action movies if the 90's bullock and reeves shine as the stars Jeff Daniels as his partner and a mean but highly entertaining Dennis hopper having a blast, literally, despite some line that seem slightly forced and could of been written better But for the whole part it's the stunts that excel in this movie from the practical bus explosion at the beginning to ever thing else thrown in after, the action is fast paced breath taking and at times spectacular If you ever need a thrilling 2 hours you can't beat this action classic Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review J H The third act is pretty bad. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/25 Full Review G M Speed (1994) remains an absolute thrill ride even 30 years later, proving that great action filmmaking never goes out of style. The lack of CGI gives the movie a grounded, authentic intensity—every explosion, crash, and stunt feels raw and real, making the stakes hit even harder. Keanu Reeves brings a steady, determined energy to his role, while Jeff Daniels adds heart and humor, and together they form a dynamic duo that deserved more screen time in future films. The pacing is relentless, keeping you on edge from the first scene to the final showdown. Whether you’re revisiting it or watching for the first time, Speed holds up as a masterclass in tension, thrills, and old-school action, and still earns its place as one of the genre’s all-time greats. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Cork B Yeah Speed is a little rough around the edges. Keanu never REALLY learned how to act, although it doesn't matter a ton here. Some of the effects are a bit dated, and the story is WAY over the top. That all said, all the stupid stuff like the bus jump was done in the service of suspense - what was going to happen to the bus next? We won't bother with backstory - we know the bomber is bad because he is played by Dennis Hopper - QED. The movie hops along at just the right pace to keep the audience enthralled, never slowing for feelings or exposition. With enough humor thrown it at the right spots to relieve the tension, just to jack it back up again. Best bus movie ever. And yes, that includes The Big Bus.
