Will always be better than any remake, the actors are good, some lines are cheesy but it's a 90's action movie. It's part of the package. Overall a good movie especially for people nostalgic of this genre.

Point Break

It may have a fresh approach with some interesting twists and turns to a typical buddy cop movie but having said that it lacks enough concrete material to feed the audience for around 2 complete hours. Kathryn Bigelow; an acclaimed director, would execute such a feature comes as a bit shock for it barely seeks attention from the audience no matter how much "used formula" it might use. Keanu Reeves did not seem at its best and unfortunately wasn't supported strongly by the cast like Patrick Swayze and Lori Petty. Point Break might work for a younger audience that seeks a typical popcorn fun time but beyond that their barely is something to explore in it on terms of craft.… Expand

Dont expect any intelligent movie here. The story has many illogical scenes and many very "cool" scenes. Also some action scenes were ridiculous. So it is just entertaining for the masses.

Point Break is a 90s action movie directed by James Cameron's wife, Kathryn Bigelow (Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty). With big names like Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze backing it, it certainly has the makings for a great movie.Point Break is a 90s action movie directed by James Cameron's wife, Kathryn Bigelow (Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty). With big names like Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze backing it, it certainly has the makings for a great movie. Unfortunately, it is not as great as one would have anticipated. The first thing that came to my attention was that Keanu Reeves' line delivery sounded like he was stoned and had never seen the lines before. It seemed as if he had just come off from shooting Bill and Ted. There were some cool action scenes, especially the one with the lawnmower, albeit it felt like a bit of a rehash of the woodchipper scene from Fargo. The movie was also quite a cliche in many regards, but maybe that's just other movies copying it. The undercover cop as a 90s surfer dude lost its novelty quick but was certainly unique. As an action movie, its fine, nothing really all that new. Some of the character moments felt out of line or underdeveloped. This movie is nothing all too new, but it is also nothing egregious. Overall, this works competently as an action film, and check it out of you enjoy John Wick or the James Bond franchise.… Expand
