Point Break - Punto di rottura

On this face of it, this ought to be rubbish... a testosterone-fuelled story of beautiful people who rob banks to fund their hedonistic lifestyle that largely revolves around anything that causes their adrenalin to rush, but it isn't rubbish. Kathryn Bigelow keeps the pace end-to-end, and both Keanu Reeves ("Johnny Utah") and Patrick Swayze ("Bohdi") are clearly having fun as the FBI agent pursuing the gang of rubber mask clad "ex-president" beach-bum robbers. Reeves is easy on the eye, but pretty wooden and sure, the plot has more holes than a string vest but the story isn't meant to be deep and meaningful. This is just a fun adventure escapade that sees our hero go surfing, sky-diving and the cinematographer is clearly in his element, too. The ending, though cluttered up with some lovey-dovey nonsense, is actually quite exhilarating as the pair seem to develop just a little bit of a bromance... It's an updated variation on the traditional cops 'n robbers affair that offers much by way of escapism on a wet, wintry evening and ought to be judged accordingly.

As a 90s kid I've always been aware of this flick but never watched, until it showed up on Hulu. Glad I finally watched because it was definitely entertaining. Loved seeing Patrick amd Keanu in one of their most famous roles. I enjoyed the play on undercover agent infiltrating a subculture not to often heard from. It's not Broadway nor is it MARVEL superheroes, but it's quality entertainment worth watching more than once. On another note, it was AWESOME seeing the lead singer of one of my all time favorite bands in this; even though he does something quite hilarious!

Who misses Patrick Swayze - I know I do. He was always good in whatever movie but particularly in this one - such a wide range of acting. I hadn't seen it for years and it came up on tv so I recorded it so I can watch it over.

Patrick Swaze and Keanu Reeves blow your mind out of the water! Very well written and clever. Epic how the heists in this became an inspiration for the video game Payday:The Heist and from the other movie Heist. This has an excellent cast, wild stunts, and the beautiful cinematography - everything you'd want from a action phenomenon!!

Everything good from this movie comes from the absolute amazing fact that Reeves and Swayze are the leads. They give off the perfect 90s surfer frenemy vibes. The storyline is unique and a bit of a bloodbath near the end, but honestly a decent watch.
