Speed 2: Cruise Control

Tentpole Trauma

The original Speed was a huge hit that cemented Keanu Reeves as an action hero and made a star of Sandra Bullock, so naturally the studio and director Jan de Bont were eager to get the band back together for the sequel. But Keanu didn’t return, leaving Sandy to shoulder Speed 2: Cruise Control with replacement Jason Patric, new villain Willem Dafoe and a questionable terrorist plot involving a not very fast moving cruise ship, resulting in one of the 90s’ biggest blockbuster bombs. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they head for the tropics on the ship that sunk a once promising action franchise.
