Speed (2007)

Wonderful character development!

Simply A Masterpiece

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is such a bad movie that I have to register in IMDb to provide the review. I guess I don't need to mention whose copy the movie is. The most simple reason why the story is stupid is when you call from fixed-line phone to mobile it displays the number and fixed-line always has an address. IMDb should allow ZERO stars for such movies. Probably it gets 1 star for it is at least a movie. I agree with one of the review people should not try to be creative when copying. If they think they have creativity then create something original. There are too many stories/characters and the main plot has no logic. I am glad it is only 1.5 hours and not typical 2 hrs movie.

Wait till you watch this one.... I mean even after reading this review. No other movie till date has sucked more than this one.... One thing i wont understand is that, when you are ripping off some English flick why to add your own creativity? With the amount spent for making this movie the producers should have considered buying rights for "Cellular" to be dubbed into Hindi and released the movie. They might have gotten some profits that way i guess. If there was a chance to rate this movie with a 0 i would have done it and the most pathetic performances come from Tanushree Datta and the girl who played the sidekick to Aftab. I don't know if my problem is that i have seen Cellular much earlier than this movie..... but that cant be a reason to support this movie... i could go on for hours but neither i have the time to discuss about this useless crap of a movie not i want to remember those awful scenes from the movie.....please stay away from this flick.

This is a rip-off from Cellular. Bad casting... Bad direction... Bad Music...And the list goes on...well there was no direction since story, scenes and setting were lifted straight off of other movie. Even fight sequence is copied. One with the mace was from Kill Bill and another one with fire hose was from either a Jet Li's or Jackie Chan's movie (i am not able to recall the name of this movie)... Stay away from this cheap imitation and try to see the real thing... Cannot expected something original from any of the Bhatts any more!!!

Actually, I am not narrating the main plot in this comment but with just 2-3 sentences I can make it a spoiler. OK here are these- Speed is just a 85% conversion of Hollywood flick Cellular into Bollywood by using the software Vikram Bhatt. Title has no match with the story, only it goes in the thriller direction. Just that!! It doesn't deserve even a single star for its imitation, imperfect casting, poor standard and predictable story. Undoubtedly now I can say that Viram Bhatt is slowly vanishing away from his director status as no any matured audience will appreciate his recent works including this. Beside him, Aftab Shivdasani too making his outlook as cartoon-comic type. Who knows how long will he last in the film industry more? Sometimes the standard in the performances and cinematography look like lower than a C-grade movie. But most supportive role was played by Zayed Khan which was somewhat identical with Chris Evan's role as Ryan in Cellular. With innocent face Sanjay Suri has no contribution in the movie as he has nothing to impress. That's why those who have already watched Cellular I advise you never to waste your time again with this imitation sack.
