Speed (1994)
The Second Part in our Driving with Death Trilogy
The Second Part in our Driving with Death Trilogy
They don't make them like they used to. Because every movie coming out now Is. Simply. Not. SPEED.
From the auteur Jan de Bone we were introduced to the next great Hollywood star in Sandra Bullock (apologies to DEMOLITION MAN) and Keanu was anointed as The Next Great Action Star (though THE MATRIX and JOHN WICK would still be some years away.) And then there's Jeff Daniels as the boozing, cynical Obi-Wan Kenobi who knows everything about bombs and almost nothing about sober love-making. Even these show notes are making me want to watch SPEED again. As. Should. You.
Catchup on last year's Movie Book Club from Quentin Tarantino's CINEMA SPECULATION!
Follow along at our Patreon page as once a month (although sometimes more) we read AND watch films from 1999 for BEST MOVIE YEAR EVER by Brian Raftery!
