Annie is looking forward to a Caribbean cruise with her cop boyfriend, Alex, who purchased the tickets to make up for lying about working on the SWAT team. Their trip turns dangerous, however, when an explosion disables the ship's communication system and it becomes clear that the vessel is under someone else's control. Alex and Annie must fight for survival as they discover that John Geiger, a crazed passenger, is behind the chaos.

Critics Consensus

Speed 2 falls far short of its predecessor, thanks to laughable dialogue, thin characterization, unsurprisingly familiar plot devices, and action sequences that fail to generate any excitement.

It's not really worth sinking your time and money into. This movie is more floundering than fun.

An ear-splitting amusement-park attraction posing as a movie.

Speed 2 is frantic action, tinny dialogue, perfunctory characterization and tried-and-false plot pilferings.

This is probably as good a time as any to point out that Orson Welles scrounged for budgets all his life, yet studios routinely throw $110 million at crap like "Speed 2."

This Keanu Reeves-less sequel is masked by its commitment to non-stop action and entertainment, that you're almost distracted from its shortcomings, of which there are many.

Filme ruim, o roteiro é horrível, o filme fez a mesma coisa do que o 1 filme, só que muito ruim, a Sandra Bullock voltou, mas o vilão é ruim, trocaram o ônibus desgovernado, para um navio desgovernado, e piorou o 1 filme, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme, não vale a pena assistir.

Two hours of my life that I will never get back. I could have done many other great things instead. However, I also was somehow compelled to watch till the very end. Mainly because I wanted to ensure my outlandish predictions were accurate. And oh boy they were.

It's okay at best but Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock) rambles way more in this than the first and not in an endearing way, just in an overly annoying, talks too much kind of way. John Geiger (Willem Dafoe) always plays a great villain, especially if said villain is a little crazy. Overall, okay movie but I'd recommend the first Speed over this one.

$150 million budget in 1997 and this is what you get? I mean, they got stars. Ultimately though, the thing that dooms this film is the reason why Keanu Reeves turned it down, awful script/story. Mindless fun, I guess. However, the tedious and monotonous nature of the film kinda kills the fun.
