Review of Point Break (2015) by Charles P — 16 Apr 2016

This could have been good but ultimately it falls short. The problem is they try to make out that surfing is some spiritual thing but the life they live just comes across as seedy, shallow and hopeless - the domain of stoners and drop-outs.

That Johnny Utah might be attracted by their guff or develop a serious friendship with them is not believable. The action is pretty good and well shot, and there's a decent twist about halfway through, but it mostly left me cold.

It's also ridiculously sweary. And that a guy who started off so passionate about justice ends up not caring is unsatisfactory. To be honest, you're better off with Fast & Furious 2.
