Review of Point Break (1991) by Jason J — 09 Sep 2010
What an amazing action packed thriller. Special Agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) infiltrates the California surf beaches looking for the adrenalin gang called the Ex-Presidents (so-called because the masks they were on their heads all represent a former President) who rob banks to get money to go were the waves are.
Along with his partner Pappas (Gary Busey) Utah goes undercover to get involved with the gang. Surfing, car chases, bank robberies, foot chases, cool music, fist fights, gun fights, beautiful women, crazy characters, skydiving, kidnapping, breathtaking scenery and humour - this has got it all.
Some great performances by Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey. The action is superbly directed by Kathryn Bigelow (of The Hurt Locker fame) and contains one of, if not the best foot chase ever!! I highly recommend this movie, pure enjoyment!
