Task 5

My favourite film is SPEED, but in my country named "MAXIMA VELOCIDAD".

I think that I saw this movie approximately ten times.

The film was originally written with the intention that Jeff Bridges would play Jack and Ellen DeGeneres would play Annie. DeGeneres was initially chosen because the role of Annie was going to be a comedic role opposite the serious role of Jack, but I thank them that it did not happen because I love Keneau Reeves and Sandra Bullock, I think they did their role very well. The film deals with an LAPD swat officer (Keanu Reeves) who is playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with crazed ex-cop Dennis Hopper. After Reeves stops Hopper from blowing up a high-rise building, the next obstacle is a city bus. Hopper has rigged the bus to explode if the "speed" ever drops below 50 miles per hour. Sandra Bullock, in her star-making role, plays an unlucky passenger who becomes the center of attention when she is forced to be the driver when the original navigator is accidently shot. The great thing about "Speed" is the fact that it never tries to be more than it is. It goes for non-stop action, thrills, chills, and spills.

The principal cast is:

-Keneau Reeves like Officer Jack Traven

-Dennis Hoper like Howard Payne

-Sandra Bullock like Annie Porter

-Joe Morton like Capt. McMahon and

-Jeff Daniels like Det. Harold "Harry" Temple

And was written by Graham Yost and directed by Jan de Bont.

FOR ME... 5 STARS OUT OF 5.
