DML Rating: ★★★★★★★★★★ - perfect

"A bomb is made to explode. That's its meaning. Its purpose. Your life is empty because you spend it trying to stop the bomb from becoming. And for who? For what? You know what a bomb is, Jack, that doesn't explode? It's a cheap gold watch, buddy." – Howard Payne

Why watch this? ... it's the high-speed action film to beat all others... and without CGI.

Plot Summary: Speed features LAPD SWAT officer Jack Traven who finds himself in a deadly game with a vengeful bomber named Howard Payne. Payne rigs a city bus with an explosive device that will detonate if its speed drops below 50 miles per hour. Traven boards the speeding bus to try and disarm the bomb and save the passengers, with a passenger named Annie Porter forced to take the wheel after the driver is injured.

Dad's Preview: This action, and I mean ACTION, thriller broke open the careers of hunky Keanu Reeves and spit-fire Sandra Bullock. A city bus is rigged with a bomb. It has to stay above 55 mph or the bus will explode. Only hunky Jack Travern, and this team of explosive experts, can save the passengers and catch the bomber. This flick is fun and intense from its onset. Bullock is so damn cute as the passenger unwillingly forced to drive the huge city bus. Buckle your seat belts and hang on!
