Point Break (1991)

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Kathryn Bigelow, Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves in his first major role. What else to say? A cult movie that inspired many other movies and its special atmosphere still comes through. It is still fresh and enjoyable.

The Nu one , its a way of life.Point break has moments, it breaths to live for the ultimate ride, the Nu one, is the ultimate ride, yes the old one has the attractive punch with all the super thespians and great punch lines, and Ms. Bigelow and as a stand alone it is superb chiefly something to revel but coupled with the nu one it adds to the undercurrent with substance that the old one lacks in undertones and overtones. I think both together are a wonderful presentation of what a really good idea can bring to life and a remake or sequel can add. And as long as its true to the found art, the outcome will be something genuine and here the Nu one gives it justice in a cordial homage remarkably well. Both are masterpieces and I think really work well together. Old Point Break is a tremendous idea and the Nu one follows in its footsteps owing to great writing. This is how a remake should be.

I really enjoyed watching this again all these years later. I can't believe its from 1991. Still stands up well today. A fun, thrilling story with some excellent surfing, skydiving and cool one liners.I guess this would be considered a classic now, following a very young Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah, a sharpshooting FBI agent who goes undercover as a surfer to stop a crime wave of bank robberies. Utah gets drawn into the lifestyle after meeting surf guru Bodhi (sigh) Patrick Swayze and falling for a cute girl (Lori Petty). His partner Gary Busey wears cool Hawaiian shirts and busts his ass. The ending is brilliant and haunting.I had forgotten many parts of this movie; the stunts are amazing and it was more violent than I remembered. Swayze is gorgeous here. Keanu is kinda cheesy,with his surfing dialogue or maybe that's just how he talks? Yeah its corny at times but also pretty great. Definitely worth a re-watch.

I somehow missed this movie for the longest time and finally got around to watching it the other day. I'm very glad I did.The early 90's action movie genre is a time capsule that takes the viewer back to a different time period. There are many of them that do this but not any that do it better than this. Yes, this plot is ridiculous and gets more and more so as we approach the end but that is besides the point. The action scenes in this one are top notch and Busey's performance is absolutely perfect as the partner. Reeves' acting can sometimes be cringe-worthy but the rest of the cast props him up. This one has some great one-liners and needs to be seen by any action movie fan.
