"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Speed | 1994 | R | - 1.6.5
It's "Die Hard on Wheels" as Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock go after mad bomber Dennis Hopper.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - There is no sex or nudity, just mild talk of sex and some chemistry between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock.
VIOLENCE/GORE 6 - The film is loaded with explosions and gunplay, but not too much blood. And, there is the constant fear of disaster. One of the most gruesome scenes is of a security guard being stabbed in the head. In another scene, one of the bus' passengers drops through the floor of the bus and is killed. The body is shown being tossed around the freeway for a second or two. And, a fight on top of a subway train causes one man's head to be ripped off violently.
LANGUAGE 5 - A few F-words, and about half a dozen scatological and anatomical references.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Greed, violence, revenge and death.
MESSAGE - The usual: Good will triumph over evil.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
