   What? Are you kidding? I just got around to seeing Speed last night,
after all the incredible things I've heard about. I suppose that if you
took out the hokey dialog, filled the plot holes with a couple of Mack
trucks, and gave Keanu Reeves (someone whom I normally like watching)
a *second* emotion, it would possibly *tie* True Lies.
 
   I'm not saying TL was the *best* movie of the summer, but definitely
better (at least more comprehensive) than Speed.
