They just don't make movies like this anymore. It's such a simple premise for an action movie: a bus has a bomb that is rigged to explode if it goes below 50 mph—and… go! You really don't need much more than that to ensure your movie will be an adrenaline-pumping thrill ride. Yet, we get so much more. We get Keanu Reeves at his peak, paired with Sandra Bullock at her peak cuteness. Their chemistry was off the charts! (Years later, we found out they both had huge crushes on each other but were too afraid to act on it).
If you haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor and watch it. It holds up amazingly well for a 90s action flick. Dennis Hopper is such a fun bad guy, and the movie is just non-stop fun. (Just don't watch the sequel. Never watch the sequel!)
