7.2? Why such a low rating?


This is probably (next to T2) the best action movie of the 90ies. What's not to like about it? I can't believe it has such a low score.. It's in the same league as the original Die Hard.. it should have something around 7.5-8!!

It's a highly peculiar score.

It's better than what a lot of Arnold Schwarzenegger movies get.

It's strange considering the reputation the film has.

I kind of agree it certainly should be higher. I remember when it came out though lots of people making fun of the premise - speeding bus and of course the bus jump scene. I would say it's way better than True Lies, which has a similar score. came out same year.
Good thing is, Speed has a good RT score, so that's something.

Both Speed and True Lies should have a 7.5 out of 10 at the very least.

7.2 is a very good score but I agree it should be a bit higher.

Oh well.

That's still a pretty good rating.

I’d give it a 10. The movie that got me into movies.
