Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Memorable, crazy movie
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Point BreakIt 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.
I just stopped watching it at the end, how come someone miss the cop at face to face range with a shotgun? NOT ONCE, BUT TWICE JUST HOW? AND WHY just why did the bad guy all of a sudden decided to take more than 60 second on the final heist? He had a perfectly working plan why did he screw it just at the end makes no sense , I'm so sick and tired of this bad guy vs good guy, and good guy wining shit, at least if the good guy with with logic OK but no, it always wins with a ton amount of cliche bs
This movie is an action heist film directed by Kathryn Bigelow. It stars Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze in the roles of Johnny Utah and Bodhi respectively. The film's story is about a series of bank robberies committed by Bodhi's crew around the country, and Utah is tasked with bringing him in.Keanu Reeves is great for the character he was given, clearly elevating the material and making Utah more than your typical boy scout. But it is Swayze's Bodhi who steals the show as he has a more shady and ambiguous character to play with, and he clearly knows this because he chews the scenery in every scene that he is in. The set pieces in the film are astounding and awe-inducing. The action in the film is very well shot and the R rating is used well, so the screen doesn't fill up with gratuitous splatters of blood.The 2015 remake compared to this seems rushed,because in that movie they just want to get the next action scene as quickly as possible, and they don't let the film take a break from all the action.With a solid plot and likable characters I give this film 8 out of 10 stars stars.
Point break is a lot of fun. It is really enjoyable. you can see it with your family, partner, even with your dog. I would say it is a nice movie and it makes you want to go to the beach and surf. There are a bunch of scenes in which the leading character and sub are surfing. Basically, this is a romance story and bank robber story combined. A policeman who is working the case about really ridiculous bank robbers figures out that they are surfers from a secret camera in a bank. To get info about the bank robbers, he pretends to be a surfer and int he meantime runs into one attractive girl who will cause a lot of......that is scene you will enjoy. What makes the film special is the leading actor who was fabulous. You will definitely have fun and with it.
