Hoezo in KINO

“Pop quiz, hotshot!” It’s been 30 years since we’ve experienced Jan de Bont’s ‘Die Hard on a bus’, a masterfully cinematic adrenaline rush. We expected nothing less from the Dutch cinematographer (and here, first-time director) as he actually shot Die Hard himself back in 1988. An unlucky police officer stuck on an LA bus primed with explosives proves to be a fantastic premisse for all sorts of nail-biting vehicular mayhem and edge-of-your-seat suspense laden with fantastic dialogue and an excellent cast, led by a yoked Keanu, a deranged Hopper and the soon-to-be American Sweetheart, Sandra Bullock. We present Speed in 35mm with Dutch subtitles.

Storyline

Jack Traven, an LAPD cop on SWAT detail, and veteran SWAT officer Harry Temple thwart an extortionist-bomber’s scheme for a $3 million ransom. As they corner the bomber, he flees and detonates a bomb vest, seemingly killing himself. Weeks later, Jack witnesses a mass transit city bus explode and nearby a pay phone rings. On the phone is that same bomber looking for vengeance and the money he’s owed. He gives a personal challenge to Jack: a bomb is rigged on another city bus – if it slows down below 50 mph, it will explode – bad enough any day, but a nightmare in LA traffic. And that’s just the beginning…
