Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

John Ferguson

Kathryn Bigelow shows that the action adventure is not just the preserve of the lads in this silly but hugely enjoyable thriller. Keanu Reeves plays the young FBI agent who unsurprisingly makes a very convincing surfing dude when he goes under cover to infiltrate a gang of adrenaline junkies, headed by Patrick Swayze, suspected of carrying out a string of audacious bank robberies dressed as former US Presidents. Try to ignore the mystical claptrap and concentrate instead on Bigelow's stunningly conceived action set pieces, as well as some exhilarating skydiving and surfing scenes. For Reeves, this proved to be a dry, or more accurately wet, run for Speed, and he acquits himself reasonably well, while Swayze is terrific as the skydiving surf guru who tries to persuade the idealistic Reeves to take up a peripatetic life. The reliable supporting players include Gary Busey, John McGinley and James LeGros.
