Speed (Widescreen Edition)

I haven't watched Speed in many years. Now the timeless classic is on Blu-ray in all it's cinematic glory. These movies make it clear why Blu-ray is what the director intended his movie to look like after all these years. After all the movies that have come out recently that use computer graphics it's great to watch a movie that uses traditional special effects and stunts.

Speed could be considered an epic in what it has done for action movies. The sit on the edge non-stop unpredictable action that makes movies like this great. The name of the movie implies what the movie is about. Dennis Hopper plays a deranged man who is out to get what he believes is his. He will do anything to get it including killing dozens of people. The only thing that stands in his way is an action cop played by Keanu Reeves.

Although some of the acting could be considered cheesy at parts it is still good. Sandra Bullock does an excellent job in one her first big movies. This movie did enough to put these stars on the blockbuster map. Of course after watching the movie some of the scenes are very unrealistic but that is why you need to watch the movie without being a critic which is sometimes hard for me. From the first minute on the action was intense and the movie stayed fun making this a movie I could watch over and over again as I already have.

The Blu-ray version is excellent with a very refined picture and greatly improved sound. This is how the movie was intended to be seen. Especially when watching it on a big screen with full surround sound. For anyone looking for a great action movie in high definition this is it.

Watched this movie with friends who had never seen it. The plot twists, the action sequences, the bad guy, no wonder very few movies are this good. As with "Die Hard," you need a really great "bad guy" to make the movie a hit, and Dennis Hopper can be your psycho like nobody else.

movie was a good action, fast paced movie that is appropriate for all age groups

This was definitely worth the money and a hard item to find these days but I am very happy with the purchase

Great Action... Looks awesome on Blu-ray.. This is a must have for all you action lovers. Explosions are amazing in 1080p
