Scream VI: Movie ReviewThis is a movie that tries to tell a large 25-year story and ends up not getting very much information out. It uses the narration narrative, which holds back the movie, not giving us enough to watch. The speedboat races are not shot in a flashy way, looking slow for the type of event. In the crime side of the story, it is nothing we haven’t seen before and doesn’t inspire the story to flow.
Final Thoughts – Speed Kills is a flat thriller that goes at a slow pace.
