It really fires on all cylinders and is just flat-out entertaining.<br /><br /><br />Francisco Gonzalez:<br /><br />Yeah, what happened to De Bont, eh? This and TWISTER were career highlights and then he made a few lackluster films and that was it. I do like TWISTER a lot, which isn't a great film by any means, but one I still find entertaining.<br /><br /><br />Roman J. Martel:<br /><br />A wonderful thrill machine is right! Ah, yes, BLOWN AWAY. I remember that one. It has been ages since I've seen it.<br /><br />Agreed on TWISTER - stupid fun, but no where near as good as SPEED despite the stellar supporting cast.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-22135488463407477432014-07-03T17:05:35.653-04:002014-07-03T17:05:35.653-04:00A great exploration of a movie that gets bashed on...A great exploration of a movie that gets bashed on a bit too much these days. It is a wonderful thrill machine, and of the two "mad bomber" movies that came out around that time, "Speed" is much better at its job than "Blown Away" was. I agree with Francisco though, De Bont really hit the nail on the head with this. But never quite matched it. "Twister" is stupid fun, but it is gets a little too stupid.Roman J.

Seeing this for the first time was such a rush, I remember everyone being wowed by it. Audiences clapping and everything. This one really turned Keanu into a huge action star...he followed this one with Johnny Mnemonic...unfortunately that one was a huge dud. So sad that Jan De Bont basically dissapeared as an action director. True this was a huge hit, but then he did Speed 2: Cruise Control which was just awful....and Lara Croft Tomb Raider which is torture for me.....the only other Jan De Bont films I can bare to watch are The Haunting and Twister. But I think Speed is without a doubt his best film, always entertaining, always fun. Never boring!

It's one of those films that is so fun that my mother and my grandmother will watch and enjoy the hell out of it. That's the power of great cinema.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
