This adrenaline-fueled movie made me fall in love with Hollywood's action films genre. 90s was a golden era for action movies and Speed perfectly embodies it.
Unlike today’s CGI-heavy action, Speed relied on real stunts, explosions, and practical effects, making it feel raw. The movie starts off with tension and never lets up. Ever moment keeps you on the edge — high stakes, non-stop, intense action.
Keanu Reeves is a beast. He jumped from a moving car onto the speeding bus himself. He even slid under the bus at full speed. The studio tried to stop him, but Keanu was like, “Nah, I got this.”
