A disaster at sea!

Abysmal sequel to an average flick...hmmm, who would ever think I'd say bring back Keanu over this wretched Jason Patric performance? You suppose Patric knew this was a piece of garbage and stopped trying? That's my only guess.

Sandra Bullock, well, she should have known better than to jump into this idiotic idea. This kind of brought back the idea of Home Alone 3...you know, by the third time the parents really ought to be in jail.

By this second "Speed", the entire cast and crew should have been locked up. Jan De Bont's direction made no sense, of course, that is partly due to an incomprehensible script with moronic dialogue. Remember all that potential we saw in De Bont? Me neither.

Why am I not flunking this film? Willem Dafoe had a few interesting scenes, enough for me to say D-.

Jacob Hall's Comment

Executive 1: Okay, "Speed" made a lot of money guys.
Executive 2: I smell a sequel.
Executive 1: You read my mind, Skippy. The question is, what can we do?
Executive 3: I can't think without my latte!
Executive 2: Forget the latte! The sooner we can crank this out, the sooner we get more money.
Executive 1: Maybe...the bus...can't go above 3 miles per hour and they have to be in Phoenix by 6:00!
Executive 3: Nah, we need to use a different vehicle so we can do cool things with it that didn't happen last time.
Executive 1: How 'bout a boat?
Executive 2: A boat? Yeah!
Executive 3: But boats aren't very fast, why would it be called "Speed."
Executive 1: Because Sandra Bullock will be back!
Executive 3: Ohhh...
Executive 2: Script time guys. I got this at the flea market. "Make-O-Script." I fill in the blanks and on the paper and we can create a generic piece of junk that should appeal to the teenage audience!
Executive 3: Cool. Just make sure there's a scene of massive destruction.
Executive 2: Done and done...wait, we're missing a page...now, the villain's motivation and plan doesn't make that much sense-
Executive 1: Who cares? The deadline is approaching, let's make a movie!
