Chicago Sun-Times -
We've seen this done before, but seldom so well, or at such a high pitch of energy.

Entertainment Weekly -
The film takes off from formula elements-it's yet another variation on "Die Hard"-but it manipulates those elements so skillfully, with such a canny mixture of delirium and restraint, that I walked out of the picture with the rare sensation that every gaudy thrill had been earned.

ReelViews -
It's an ingenious premise that first-time director Jan De Bont has turned into a tremendously well-executed motion picture.

Rolling Stone -
If you're looking for action movie heaven, try Speed, a crackling blend of suspense and fun that gives you the rush of a runaway roller coaster.

The New York Times -
This film's dialogue isn't much more literate than a bus schedule, but its plotting is smart and breathless enough to make up for that.

Speed (1994)
Los Angeles SWAT cop Jack Traven is up against bomb expert Howard Payne, who's after major ransom money. First it's a rigged elevator in a very tall building. Then it's a rigged bus--if it slows, it will blow, bad enough any day, but a nightmare in LA traffic. And that's still not the end.
