It is often said that action movies are mindless entertainment, and although it is true that there are countless examples of muscle or indestructible heroes overcoming all chances if you look at the greatest genre, it is clear: good action movies include intelligent, intelligent, Intelligent, intelligent, intelligent, intelligent, intelligent, intelligent creative heroes who exceed and affect. Bruce Willis in Hard How is John McClane a classic example. Six years later another unconventional star turned to action when Keanu Reeves took a bike SpeedAnd the 1994 movie blockbuster is still looking for new fans, where he is at Max Top ten weeks later.

A bus that couldn’t slow down

Assumption Speed It is deceptively simple for Aciton: Although it is parodied to death over the decades, it still works; After all, a bus that blows under 50 miles per hour is a brilliant concept. What works, however, is that the film begins with what in any other action film was a climate moment to include a bomb, but here it is a starter before the continuous main course. Used to show the audience that officer Jack Traven from LAPD (Keanu Reeves) is intelligent, qualified and able to remain calm under pressure.

What do we see Jack Speed is chopped waves of villains as in other action movies that Charlie Sheen has so perfectly parodied Hot shots leave two. Instead, he is imprisoned on a bus full of commuting, tourists and fearless Annie (Sandra Bullock) when trying to read the evil master who played Dennis Hopper, not seeing or touching. Jeff Daniels, as Jack’s partner Harry, can even download an acting championship class with a mere face expression, transmits more emotions and meaning in one split second shot than you would ever think is possible.

This does not mean that Speed lacks any action, far away because the film pulls the same trick as Twister By having a climax every 15 minutes, it constantly increases bets and increases tension with a new problem that constantly plunges on our heroes. Like the initial scene of the elevator, it is only the beginning of the event that includes a jump on the highway that, even though it is a CGI gap, includes footage of a very real city bus by flying air. A great action film does not need explosions and bullets that growl through the air, even if it is too; He simply needs great setpieces and great characters.

Pop quiz hotshot

Speed It would not be a timeless classic action movie if it wasn’t for Reeves, Bullock and Hopper. Reeves plays Jack as a perfect eye of a hurricane; Sure, he is frustrated, but he never dreates his peace for too long and balances the madness of the bus that cannot slow down. While Bullock takes what could be a standard role of love interest, and turns Annie to her own character, like Hopper, with a crushed touch of his voice all the time, will succeed in line and Looney tunes Villain, but somehow keeps the ground enough to make it terrible.

Sandra Bullock has become a star thanks Speed Before she finds her niche Romantic comedy Films, while Reeves, who was a success before the film, was suddenly on the way to become the main star, and Hopper, a legend in Hollywood, had a revival of his career. The stars were even made behind the scenes thanks to Joss Whedon, who won the credit for his eleven hour screenplay and kickstarting his career Graham Yost, which continued Justified and Silo. Hollywood notices when a $ 30 million film earns 10 times its budget only in the cash register, counting countless millions of VHS, DVDs, and broadcasting.

Speed ​​should become standard

Unlike other action films 90. Speed He has been a huge film hit for decades. The film was supposed to be an example of great characters and great writing that does not consider the audience as with idiots more important than special effects or bloodshed, but instead it retreated Speed ​​2One of the worst sequels of all time. Instead, it excels as one of the biggest action films ever made, because there are few films like that, and given the current state of the Hollywood event, it will never be overcome.

If you haven’t watched it for some time or have you missed a bus in some way, Speed It is available for streaming to Max.
