The only point of the film are the bus sequences, gripping and which stand up against 16 or 17 years of American action cinema immensely, but everything around it is far too flimsy to sustain the whole thing as a good film. If far more concentration was made on letting Dennis Hopper and Keanu Reeves enjoy themselves as well as the bus sequences this could have been more than the film about a bomb on a bus.
