Speed is a great thriller/action movie! A few violent scenes involving killing and stabbing, with blood. There's basically no sex or anything that would make somebody feel uncomfortable except one or two jokes. There's some swearing but it should be okay for kids over 13. Basically no scene with sex or anything that would make somebody feel uncomfortable.

The film is loaded with explosions and gunplay, but there's not too much blood. And, there is the constant fear of disaster and death. One of the most gruesome scenes is of a security guard being stabbed in the head. In another scene, one of the bus' passengers drops through the floor of the bus and is run over killed. The body is shown being tossed around the freeway for a second or two. And, a fight on top of a subway train causes one man's head to be ripped off violently.

| frightening |
The whole film is very intense, as the plot is about a bus that will blow up if it travels under 50 mph after it travels at over 50. That means the bus must desperately careen throughout the city, unable to slow down for anything with a high risk of collisions of all varieties.
The most explicit is when the bus strikes a baby carriage and the occupants of the bus watch with horror as the carriage sails through the air, but it turns out to only have empty cans inside. |
