Anybody seen Keanu? The action star of <i>Speed</i> 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). <i>Speed</i> 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.). <i>Speed 2</i> 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. <I>--Tom Keogh</I>
Viewer Reviews
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.
