This made so much sense at the beginning

Speed

Mister, I'm already there.

Just take one step, reach out and take my hand.

Shoot the hostage. Take her out of the equation.

You're the expert. I just work here.

Sir, Harry volunteers to examine the device.

Yeah, the basement.

[whoooa] Ok, I admit, Speed really is not all that great of a movie. Sure it has some good action scenes, and yes, Keanu is in it, and yes, the movie would be utter crap if it had Sandra Bullock and say, Jason Patric, in it. Keanu does a good job of course (really, when does he not do a good job), but Dennis Hopper’s character (and his pure creepiness) coupled with the multiple bad endings make this a solid ‘whoooa’.

[whoooa] If you liked Speed 2, why? When you get 14 endings in this action extravaganza. You get every mailman’s favorite movie star Dennis Hopper thinking all throughout this (in his spooky upper lip touching kind of way) and a perfect, perfectly classic Keanu performance. Bad dialogue, implausible plot lines & that goofy bus jump thing – what more does a girl need? This movie without Hopper! With an actual actor in the “bad guy” role this rates a “whoooooa.” I’m not saying he ruins the movie. He almost ruins the movie. Then, Keanu pulls it from the Dennis Hopper jaws of crapitude.
