Speed

CriticsCritics: 87
AudienceAudience: 7.5

A police officer must protect passengers on a city bus rigged to explode if its speed falls below fifty miles per hour. As traffic, obstacles, and limited options make escape difficult, he works to keep the bus moving while finding a way to stop the bomber.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you want a fast, crowd-pleasing action thriller with likable leads, escalating danger, and playful 1990s energy; Not for you if contrived plots and exaggerated stunts frustrate you.
