Pop quiz, hotshot: What is long but fast-paced, exciting but a bit ridiculous? Answer: a speeding bus that’s able to jump a giant gap in a freeway without a ramp. Also, this movie. Down-to-earth Annie pairs well with Jack’s cheesy action-machismo, but there are still a few groaner moments (see the aforementioned gap jump), and while the thrills pile on in a wonderful way (“What, you thought you needed another challenge or something?”), 3 major set pieces (elevator, bus, train) is one too many.

I remember seeing this movie when it came it out. It was tension on the “edge of your seat” literally on the bus. You’re probably right that the bus jump and the train crash are a bit overkill but at the time it was one long adrenaline rush that was almost a relief when it crashed!
