phynckeSpeed (1994)
Summary: IMDB and me
A young cop must prevent a bomb exploding aboard a Los Angeles city bus by keeping its speed above 50 mph. Psychotic bomber with an axe to grind.
IMDB for cast and credits:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111257/
So I always find Keanu Reeves a little wooden but in this movie it kind of plays as brave stoicism. He is not bad. This movie is all dynamic tension as the city bus tries to stay above 50 mph in Los Angeles traffic (no kidding). I have seen this movie many times and can always watch it. The panic of the bus passengers, Dennis Hopper as the psycho bomber and the cops actions - all combine to make this very entertaining. I have always liked this movie. It is not a great film but a good, action movie with tension. Classic tension filled movie. Also - Sandra Bullock very perky in this.
Overall rating:
Good and tense.
Recommend:
I do and Keanu is not bad. Bonus points for psychotic Dennis Hopper.
Warnings:
Some gruesome stuff and violence.
