Customer Ratings & Reviews

An ok movie about Don Aronow but really lacking in facts, one thing they did was changed the first name from Don to Ben, that was in very poor taste because the name of the man who put the hit on Don Aronow is Ben Kramer who is serving a life sentence in prison for ordering the murder/hit of Don Aronow. This was really a lost opportunity to have done a really great documentary of Don Aronow. While we will never know the full truth it is no secrete that Don Aronow had dealings with some very bad people, George H.W. Bush who was the Vice President at the time made a deal with Don Aronow to build the government boats that would be as fast or faster as the boats the drug smugglers were using that were built by Don Aronow. Ben Kramer bought the boat company from Done Aronow that had the contract to build those boats for the government but when the government found out about the change of ownership and Ben Kramers criminal back ground they canceled the contract that worth upwards of one hundred million dollars. Ben Kramer was very upset about that and he arranged for the murder/hit on Don Aronow. The movie falls far short of getting this story correct but if you ignore everything they got wrong it is a decent movie.

I am a john travolta fan so I bought some this movie. It's not as good as I expected it to be. A low budget film with low effects. I do not recommend watch this movie it was a waste of my time.

This action packed fast paced Movie is a lot of fun! JOHN TRAVOLTA does a great job playing a Millionaire Boat Racer / Drug Smuggler.

This is a good movie with great actors, but I did feel, it needed better direction in certain areas, that is why only (4) stars.

Travolta is another long standing actor that plays different characters in his career. Here's another good one !

True movie about an ex mobster starts racing boats in Fl and becomes a champion only to lose it all in the end.

THIS WAS NOT TO BAD A LITTLE SLOW AT FIRST,BUT WHEN TWAIN/HIS GIRLFRIEND SHOWS UP THE MOVIE SPEEDS UP!!!

Pretty good movie with some strange goings on. Travolta does his usual good acting spin.

John Travolta did a descent job in portraying the character in the movie.

John Travolta flexes his acting chops in this true story. Good movie.

John played a different roll than usual but does a good job acting

Love John Travolta movies. Good speedboat action scenses.

Slower version of American made? Glad I made the purchese

Another mob movie where once you are in your in for life

good movie it had a surprise ending I did not expect

My wife and I were not able to see this movie in our local movie theater and am happy we were able to purchase it at a good price from BestBuy and we really enjoyed watching it and am looking forward to watching it again as often as we want.

Music very loud at times. Had to keep adjusting the volume to hear the dialog. A lot about boats, Not what I expected.

John Travolta stars as Ben Aronow in this true story of Fast Boats, Mobsters and Drug runners!!! Great movie about how the Cigarette Boat came into existence.

Speed Kills was entertaining. It is a movie about drug trafficking and organized crime. I would have liked more background/character development. Boat racing is more dangerous and physically abusive on the racers and the film missed a great opportunity to share these facts. I enjoyed the movie, but wanted to see more about how the DEA monitored and secured the Florida Coast. I rate this film a B for entertainment.

This is a pretty good movie.I’m surprised it didnt get more press. Decinately worth the $$$.
