Review of Point Break (2015) by Josh L — 04 Jan 2016

A fun movie with a memorable performance from Patrick Swayze, but ultimately too silly to fully recommend. Keanu Reeves is mostly in his wheelhouse here, but he has had better performances and is pretty wooden in this.

The action sequences are solid and there's enough suspense to keep you interested, but the script and screenplay are let down by outlandish plot elements and predictability. That was ultimately my biggest complaint, but it is certainly well directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

If you want a mindless action film with some nice locales and action scenes, you can do worse. Just don't expect Shakespeare.
