Speed Series Episode 2

Sandra Bullock does her best to keep a Caribbean vacation liner afloat after leech-covered psycho Willem Dafoe wires her boat to Speed 2 collision with an oil tanker in this infamous 1997 sequel. Does director Jan De Bont jump a shark trying to engage Cruise Control and sail this doomed voyage into familiar commercial waters?  And did the mega-expensive production hit the metaphorical iceberg the moment it recast fun-loving action dude Keanu Reeves with sullen Lost Boy Jason Patric?  Get back on the bus with Arnie, Jakob, and Stuart to find out now!
