The Fastest Movie Ever Made

Authored by Leandro Delgado

It was one of the best action movies ever made and I pretty much forgot it even existed. You probably forgot it existed, too. It's possible you have it stored in the back of your memory somewhere, but even when this title is revealed, the details aren't going to come rushing back to you. I'll give you a hint. A bad guy has placed a bomb on a city bus. If that bus goes slower than a certain speed at any point in time, the bomb will detonate. Brilliant concept, isn't it? Dennis Hopper plays a great villain. Keanu Reaves plays the hero. And Sandra Bullock is the frightened replacement bus driver. There are many twists and turns in this one - no pun intended. If you haven't figured it out, the movie is Speed. This movie came out back in 1994. It's hard to believe it was that long ago. It's also hard to believe this movie doesn't get more recognition than it does. There aren't many movies that move faster than this one. I was reminded of this last night when I watched it on my satellite tv from http://www.tvbydirect.com/. There is one aspect to this movie that I overlooked the last time I saw it, which was over a decade ago. The passengers on the bus are superb actors. They are really the key to selling this movie, and they do it extremely well.
