- Ray HopkinNovember 27, 2024Such an exquisite and perfect action movie, with unbelievable chemistry between Reeves and Bullock, and a great deranged performance from Hopper. Considering it's only 3 major set pieces, elevator, bus, train, it shows just how good DeBont is in crafting a spectacular and exciting movie.
- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 27, 2025🚌 They really do not make films like this any more. A defining action film from the 1990's that is so fast, exciting and entertaining from the opening credits to the end. As Keanu Reeves cop tries to save passengers on a bus that has been rigged to explode if the speed of the bus drops below 50mph, this film goes from one brilliant set piece to another, and is directed wonderfully well by Jan Debont. The dialogue is cool and snappy, their is good humour amongst the thrills, a great score, and really good performances from Jeff Daniels, Sandra Bullock, Dennis Hopper as the crazed villian, and of course Reeves, and this is my favourite performance from him. It does not matter how many times you watch this film, just leave your brain at the door for a couple of hours, sit back, turn your sound system up, and enjoy.
