Ok guys, there's a movie I really want to pick up but I cannot for the life of me remember what it is called or even who is in it. I've been wandering about it for a few months now and I preview for a similar movie on TV reminded me of it.

It's about a serial bomber in a big city. I seem to remember them at the begining of the movie doing a search for a bomb with one of those robots that looks for them and I think it looked like a small tank with arms, and at the end I think they had to put something (probably money for the villian) in a trashcan and then they realize there's a hole underneath the can and chase him through the subway?

Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm really frustrated I cannot think of which movie this is.

Actually he sets a bomb in a bus that when the bus hits 50mph it triggers the bomb.. and if the Bus slows down under 50mph, it blows up, hence the term "Speed".

I think I must be mixed up with some of the parts of Speed, but I saw that recently and it's definitely not what I'm talking about.

So all I really have is.... a movie about a serial bomber in a big city.

I was watching Arlington Road when I thought of the movie I'm talking about, so maybe it was similar to that?

This is frustrating.

Does he have to follow orders from a guy named Simon on a phone throughout the city? And he teams up with a black dude named Zeus? That's the movie i'm thinking of, but can't quite get the name....

EDIT
Nah, that's not it I think, I do know the one u are thinking of though. Bugger.

It's just like Speed 2, but with a bus instead of a boat!
