Pop-quiz hotshot. You're L.A.P.D. SWAT Detective Jack Traven (Keanu Reeves). You've got to board a bomb-laden bus without allowing it to drop below 50mph. What are you gonna do? The co-opting of Glenn Plummer's hapless Jaguar owner to keep pace with the lethal public transport.
A real goddamn classic, both deep and entertaining. The dialogues are vulgar, crude, raw. The actors' casting is just awesome : De Niro got fat just for the role and fits perfectly, and Pesci is as crazy as always. The fights are incredible, more spectacular than real ones.
