Sandra Bullock, known for her roles in successful films like “The Blind Side” and “The Lost City,” admits to still feeling embarrassed about a particular movie in her repertoire, even after 27 years. During a promotional tour for “The Lost City,” Bullock confessed her regret about starring in “Speed 2: Cruise Control.” In contrast to the original hit “Speed” (1994), the sequel, released in 1997, failed to impress both audiences and Bullock herself.

During the promotional event, Bullock, alongside co-star Daniel Radcliffe, discussed projects they found embarrassing. Bullock openly criticized “Speed 2,” citing its nonsensical plot involving a slow-moving cruise ship, which sharply contrasted with the high-speed action of its predecessor. Despite Radcliffe mentioning a cult following for the film, Bullock dismissed it as insignificant, suggesting only a handful of fans existed.
The absence of Keanu Reeves, her co-star from the original film, further diminished the sequel’s appeal. Reeves had declined to participate, citing dissatisfaction with the script and concept. He expressed reservations about the idea of a slower-paced storyline, comparing the cruise ship setting unfavorably to the bus from the first film.
Bullock’s candid admission highlights the reality that even celebrated actors can regret certain career choices. “Speed 2: Cruise Control” stands as a cautionary tale amidst Bullock’s otherwise illustrious filmography, reminding both fans and industry insiders alike of the unpredictable nature of Hollywood success.
