In Speed, LAPD officers Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves) and Harry Temple (Jeff Daniels) foil the plans of a mad bomber (Dennis Hopper) who then plans his revenge on the two. To do that he places a bomb on a commuter bus that activates once the bus crosses 55 mph and detonates when the bus slows below that speed. Jack manages to put in a bit of a wildcard when he manages to board the bus after a high speed chase. He then has to find a way to save the passengers while plucky passenger Annie Porter (Sandra Bullock) drives the bus after the regular driver is shot.

For the budget there is an awful lot of explosions and car crashes. Jack and Annie have good chemistry and Dennis Hopper is kind of brilliant as a bumbling bomber who turns off the facade when it gets serious.

I recently rewatched this and it holds up as an entertaining low-budget action film from the credits flashing as we go down an elevator shaft to the final kiss between Jack and Annie.
