You don't want to write. You want to find an excuse not to, and I'll just be one more thing to blame if you don't.

Speed (1994)

Speed is one of the greatest action films ever made. It’s packed wall-to-wall with memorable action scenes - so many this could be three great action movies instead of one. The premise is beautifully simple and explored to the fullest by writer Graham Yost. The actors have terrific chemistry. The stunts and pyrotechnics are sublime. You won’t believe this is director Jan de Bont’s directorial debut.

After saving an elevator full of hostages, LAPD SWAT officer Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) receives a phone call from the madman responsible. He’s planted a bomb onto a city bus. The bomb will become armed once the bus reaches 50 miles per hour. Once armed, the bomb will explode if the bus’ speed dips below 50 miles per hour. If anyone attempts to get off the bus, the bomb will explode. While Jack attempts to catch up to the vehicle before disaster strikes, his partner, Detective Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) searches for the bomber’s identity and whereabouts.

The first part of Speed has Jack and Harry in the same building as the bomber (Dennis Hopper). Who knew you could wring so much tension out of an elevator full of people by adding some explosives? Well, alright. Maybe that’s sort of a stupid question. The point is, that the bad guy is deliciously evil. No hammy agendas or big speeches. All he wants is to get money. If a few people have to die in the process, so be it. Elevators are always a little bit scary to ride, with the claustrophobia and knowledge that in case of an emergency, it's the last place you want to be (take the stairs instead). This? It'll have your hands all sweaty. Thank goodness for Jack and Harry. You like them as a team and get a good feel for who they are as individuals as well. That’s critical because they're separated the second the bus comes into play.

Now the movie REALLY gets going. You place yourself in Jack’s shoes and feel overwhelmed. First, he has to find the bus, then he has to stop it from going 50 miles per hour… unless it’s already reached that speed. If it has, he’ll have to tell the driver without slowing the vehicle down - at which point everyone will die. The only way to get a hold of this situation is to get onboard, which of course is easier said than done. That’s just the beginning. Once aboard, there’s so much that can - and does - go wrong you’re never given a minute to relax. The closest thing to a breather are the scenes with Harry as he begins closing in on the mad bomber, which isn't exactly a pleasant stroll through a meadow.

As Speed plays, your mind races with ideas. What will Jack have to keep an eye on? How will he deal with the problems that will arise as the bus keeps driving? What would you do in this scenario? I ask because it isn’t just Jack on the bus. You get to know several passengers more than you’d expect; just enough for you to care about the safety of everyone onboard. There’s the tourist who at first seems like a bit of a sleaze but turns out to be just an ordinary guy, the paranoid lady who just wants to get off no matter what (who can blame her?), the big guy Jack can count on when something goes wrong, the criminal who knows he’s wanted and thinks Jack is after him and Sandra Bullock as Annie Porter. Bullock’s a treasure in pretty much any role, and that is certainly the case here. She helps immerse you into the action even further because she winds up taking the wheel on the bus for a long time. Remember, she’s no cop; she’s not even a bus driver!

Bullock and Reeves have terrific chemistry, which is key to the last third of the film. Just when you think this moving is winding down, it picks up again. Even when it’s over - for sure this time - you’re not sure if it’s ok to relax. What a ride that was!

I hadn’t seen Speed in at least a decade and was surprised by how vivid my memory of the film was. One of the reasons? It contains little downtime. It’s action, action, action all the way and each perilous situation is a contender for the movie’s best. It’s fast-paced with loads of energy, fun twists, a smartly written story, memorable characters, and a premise you can’t wait to tell your friends about. Speed stands the test of time.

Wanna talk fan cast for any Spidey media: I can't stress enough how great Joe Morton would be in the role of Norman Osborn. Sexy af yes, but more importantly his acting in Scandal ABC for example - how he's able to portray such a powerful, smart, caring and cruel individual, the way he shakes with each emotion while monologuing... yeah I'm a bit of a slut for this man.
