During a harsh New Jersey winter, millionaire construction magnate Ben Aronoff suddenly moves to Miami Beach with his wife Katherine and children.

Aronow wants to build the perfect speedboat and become a champion. His first business becomes a huge success and soon he earns more than he can spend. His boats, racing exploits and conviviality make him famous. He sells boats to everyone from The Beatles to George HW Bush. But soon he becomes involved in a money laundering investigation.

Based on the life of Donald Aronow, this crime thriller stars John Travolta as Ben Aronoff, a businessman whose career takes a new turn after he plunges into the world of speedboats. Ben wins competition after competition with his self-designed boats. When mobster Meyer Lansky [James Remar] offers him a hefty sum of money for laundering stolen money, he is instantly rich. But those who get involved with gangsters will get into trouble someday. Travolta doesn't age in 25 years - he always looks old - and Scurfield fails to breathe life into what could have been an entertaining crime movie. Unfortunately, the result is downright boring.

Oh well... if you want to make a quick buck, get involved with the biggest criminals, neglect your wife and children and continue to fuck bitches everywhere, then take a second wife and make a child with it and even make it for her again and your son is not

Well .. then you shouldn't be surprised if you come to an end like this one day

Otherwise a good movie, a bit long winded and boring. Yes.

Speed Kills is a film with a story that gives you as a viewer a glimpse into the world of apparent success. Success that is acquired with shady business where you constantly have to look over your shoulders to get through the day. Whether it's all worth it is up to the viewer. I think Travolta is the ideal man for the job really a character man in a character role.
