Review

Bomb man has set explosions to elevator. When it is full of people he threat to explode it if he does not get 3 million dollars. Two police officers gets people safely out from elevator. The bombman dies - or that what police thought - in that mission, but later it is seen that police were wrong and the bombman didn't die and he still wants his money. This time he has set the bomb to the bus and if that bus is going slower than 50 mph it will explode and all the people inside will die as well. Heroic police from previous mission goes again to stop the bombman on a dangerous mission.

This movie was full of action but it still was not boring at all. There was enough slower parts in action scenes as well so it didn't turn out to be boring. Action was interesting, there were multiple good surprises in story and it was well made also on technical level. Explosions and crashes were nice to see and those were probably not very cheap to do.

I liked this movie, it was an excellent action film.
