Jay Movie Talk Ep.333 Speed- Pop Quiz, Hotshot Why Speed Still Rules the Road
MayAction Month is officially in motion- and we're kicking it off with one of the most iconic thrill rides of the 90s Speed
In this episode, I break down why Speed still holds up 30 years later from it's high concept brilliance to the electric chemistry between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, and how it helped launch both their careers. I also dive into Dennis Hopper's wild villain performance, the genius of de Bont's direction, and why this film remains the blueprint for tight, relentless action.
Plus, a few standout moments(that bus jump) and why Speed still slaps harder than most modern blockbusters.
Listen and let me know:
Is Speed one of the greatest action movies of all time?
