Another family favorite from the 90's, Keanu Reeves (LA Police bomb squad) and Sandra Bullock (regular girl next door) are thrown together as a bus she is on has a bomb on it that he needs to defuse. The two have a good chemistry together and we get to take a tour of 90's LA, when transportation was being built (unfinished 105-110 interchange, unfinished redline extension to Hollywood), and transportation physics was suspended (city bus successfully jumps a 50 foot gap with no ramp, metro rail car has enough energy to collide through 200 meters of steel i-beams and up a slope, but not enough to damage the carriage). Worth watching once a decade if only to remember the good old days.
4 stars (out of 5)
