One of Denzel Washington’s best B-movies is exactly what a Speed sequel should have been. Speed arrived in 1994 and became an unexpected summer blockbuster. The movie’s simple but ingenious premise, relentless pacing and the incredible chemistry between Keanu Reeves and a little-known actress named Sandra Bullock combined to make it a must see. The film has aged incredibly well too; sadly, this same compliment does not extend to Speed 2: Cruise Control. Now, Speed 2 would have sucked with or without Keanu Reeves, but once he passed, the film should have been canceled.
