“And the final stretch — where you think the story’s done because the bus situation is over, but nope, now there’s a runaway subway too — felt like the movie was saying, “hey, we’ve still got some explosions left.””

“It really thrills. Speed does what it wants to do very well, and it really keeps you on the edge of your seat.”

Published reviews, not felt experience — a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
“We've seen this done before, but seldom so well, or at such a high pitch of energy.”
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times · 100
“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.”
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly · 100
“The result is clean, delirious, and, yes, speedy—the best big-vehicle-in-peril movie since Clouzot's "The Wages of Fear."”
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker · 100
“De Bont and his team have turned in a visually sophisticated piece of mayhem that makes the implausible plausible and keeps the thrills coming. [10Jun1994 Pg. F1]”
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times · 90
“The movie has two virtues essential to good pop thrillers. First, it plugs uncomplicatedly into lurking anxieties -- in this case the ones we brush aside when we daily surrender ourselves to mass transit in a world where the loonies are everywhere. Second, it is executed with panache and utter conviction.”
Richard Schickel, Time · 90

“_**Get off the bus!**_ A SWAT officer in Los Angeles (Keanu Reeves) tries to save the lives of people on a bus from a mad bomber (Dennis Hopper) who has the vehicle rigged to blow up if it goes under 50 MPH. Sandra Bullock plays a passenger on the bus while Jeff Daniels is on hand as another SWAT officer. "Speed" (1994) is a disaster/action movie that delivers the goods as a thrilling popcorn flick. While it’s not great like “Terminator 2: Judgment Day” (1991) it’s arguably on par with “Un”
