Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Anybody seen Keanu? The action star of Speed opted out of this overbearing sequel, which finds costar Sandra Bullock in love with another guy (Jason Patric) and in trouble aboard a cruise ship under the control of a mad extortionist (Willem Dafoe). Speed director Jan de Bont is back at the helm for part 2, but even he seems to have forgotten that what made the first film work was the simplicity of its hook (the bomb, the bus that can't drive below 50 mph, the handful of sympathetic passengers, etc.). Speed 2 is all about hugeness: big ship, lots of places to get into trouble, and so on. Even with an eye-popping, endless finale of the vessel crashing into port (and causing mondo destruction), there is nothing about this movie that is remotely as involving as its predecessor. --Tom Keogh

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What can I say?
Forget that Speed 2 doesn't beat Speed. Forget that Keanu Reeves doesn't return as Jack Traven. What matters it this: Sandra Bullock is great, William DaFue is just as great, and Jason Patric is also pretty good! The visuals are nothing special, but are still entertaining and enjoyable to watch. It's not a visual feast, like Speed 1, but it most certainly is a suspenseful thriller with some really good acting. I've always like Sandra Bullock, and this just widened my liking of her. Jan De Bont is great with these action films, and although it doesn't match the witty action and suspense of the first movie, it still is a great choice for keeping your heart racing and your adrenaline pumping.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Impressive!
This movie, although not perfect, is pretty close! Speed came near the brink of perfection, and Speed 2 took a step back, even though it was just a baby step. Sandra Bullock reprises her role, and does so fantastically, though Keanu Reeves isn't there this time, and Jason Patric is filling his shoes this time around. He does so acceptably, and although he's not terrific, he's not unbearably painful to watch either.

The action scenes make up for the loss of Keanu Reeves, and William DaFue also makes a nice villain, with his evil eyes and tone of voice. Bullock seems to have a better grip on things this time, as she is definitely more helpful this time around, elbowing criminal's in the face and sawing through doors instead of having a criminal strap bombs to her chest. In my opinion, although it's clear that nothing can beat the first Speed, Speed 2 still gives us some pretty good entertainment, despite ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Super!
Although this movie takes a little while to get moving, once it sets off, there's no turning back! This movie is hard to keep your eyes off of, mainly due to the air-tight action scenes and splendid acting, mainly due to Sandra Bullock and William DaFue (Jason Patric isn't horrible, he just isn't as good as Keanu Reeves).

This movie is filled with some really cool scenes, such as the scene where Jason has to save the deaf girl from the flooding and when the ship is crashing through the town! Sandra Bullock made me laugh out loud many times throughout the film, and in my opinion, is much better this time around!

Although it doesn't live up to Speed 1, Speed 2 is a definite must to add to your DVD collection, for you action lovers out there! When it comes to an action movie, we care more about explosions than we do about the storyline, and Speed 2 accomplishes this amazingly well!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great!
Great acting. Great story line. Great direction. Great visuals. Great movie. Great Sandra Bullock.

Speed 2: Cruise Control.

(If you can't interpret that, it means that I highly recommend this film).
