MCT:May 5, 2008One of my fav action films of the 90's...before Keanu entered the Matrix and became full of himself...before Busey became a charicture of himself...the only Lori Petty movie that is watchable...Pretty straight forward story, very memorable...and where else can you see Anthony Keides rightfully get his @$$ kicked?!...

MCT:April 26, 2008X-treme sports and x-treme bank robbery ending with a ride on a big ol' wave. Why wouldn't you wanna sit and watch this thrill piece for a couple of hours. And what about these boys eh? Don't they look young?

"Fear causes hesitation, and hesitation will cause your worst fears to come true."
Point Break is simply a classic, highly entertaining action flick aimed at the mass market.
Keanu is new FBI agent recruit Johnny Utah. Young and ready for action, Utah is transferred to the band robbery division.
His first assignment is to investigate a string of bank robberies in Southern California that have been committed by a gang who call themselves 'The Ex-Presidents'. Going undercover, Utah infiltrates a group of surfers lead by surfer guru Bodhi (Swayze) and slowly learns to respect their lifestyle. These surfers are suspects in the investigation, so Utah must choose between his new friends or his duty that he has sworn to complete.
By this point in his career, Keanu Reeves still needed a few more acting lessons. For the most part he's incredibly wooden and lacking any emotion; spitting out words that sound rehearsed and unnatural.
Patrick Swayze was actually really good here. Thank God someone of Swayze's stature appeared in this movie. He almost manages to make up for Reeves' corny acting.
For an action movie, the script isn't too bad. Granted the film moves from cliché to cliché, and is very predictable...but at least it's entertaining!
The high energy action scenes make for essential viewing, especially for those who enjoy the genre.
Point Break is an action movie mixed with some energetic scenes of surfing. Some of the cinematography during the surfing scenes is fantastic, and the film is generally very entertaining.
It was great to see some characters pop up in Australia at the end. Worth a screening. -
MCT:April 19, 2008What a cool movie. One of Keanu Reeves's better films. And Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey adds they own touch to it. A must watch!

I said it about Men In Black 2, read the review the flixster guy gives because i truly cant even begin to describe how good this movie is. Rent it, or better yet, buy it. Although made way back when i was a wee lad just learning to walk (1991), you MUST see it.
