Everything clicked in this 1994 action hit, from the premise (a city bus has to keep moving at 50 mph or blow up) to the two leads (the usually inscrutable Keanu Reeves and the cute-as-a-button Sandra Bullock) to the villain (Dennis Hopper in psycho mode) to the director (Jan De Bont, who made this film hit the ground running with an edge-of-your-seat opening sequence on a broken elevator). This is the sort of movie that becomes a prototype for a thousand lesser films (including De Bont's lousy sequel, Speed 2: Cruise Control), but Speed really is a one-of-a-kind experience almost anyone can enjoy. --Tom Keogh

Speed is just a truly entertaining movie and even better in Blu-Ray. Upgrade your copy now.
The movie speed January 6, 2009
MaryK (Pataskala Ohio)
I thought the movie to be great. its a classic and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I liked it a lot better than the next one. It reminds you to keep an eye out to you never know when you might find yourself on a hijacked buss! Who dont love the drama and excitement of speed!
Real Speed! December 11, 2008
Russell Goodall (Yokohama, Japan)
Probably saw it for the first time since the movie came out.
I knew I always liked the fast-paced no-nonsense action movie, but had forgotten a lot of the story.
The theme music grows on ya, and you are enamored into the hard-core action.
A simple and fun 'Friday night ' movie.
The opening elevator scene alone is pretty 'sweat-in-palms' stuff, but thats only the beginning people! And just when you thought it was all over with the non-stoppable bus, lol! there's the subway scene! Yikes!
Keanu looking sharp with that cool short haircut.
No real 'making of' on the disc, but a few special features including a game for the kids.
Director Jan Debon went on to do Twister [Blu-ray] but we haven't heard from him lately. Speed was actually his directional debut, and he delivers!
Pity about Speed 2 - Cruise Control... Its not the same without Keanu. Notice they haven't issued Speed 2 on blu-ray. Figures...
A teaching tool. December 8, 2008
L. J. Griffin (Sausalito, Ca.)
I am using this film as a teaching tool for my bus operators to teach situations that may occur if a bus is hijacked, once they have done all the state requirements, I show the films.
STEP ON THE BUS AND LEAVE YOUR BRAIN AT THE DOOR! September 22, 2008

If ever there was a film that doesn't apologize for being "Hollywood" .....'Speed' has got to be it. This movie delivers action, action and more action to the point of absurdity, but it's a lot of fun. Hopper gives his usual wacko performance once again and Bullock is her usual cute self. Reeves fills in the "hero" shoes fine, but it's the "just one more over the top situation" that makes this film too much! Get the largest bowl in your house and fill it till it spills over with popcorn and enjoy.......don't forget to leave your brain at the door! The DVD transfer looks good, but it's a pretty basic release.
