Review of Point Break (2015) by Andre T — 05 Aug 2011
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Lori Petty and Gary Busey. The title refers to the surfing term point break, where a wave breaks as it hits a point of land jutting out from the coastline.
Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), is a rookie FBI Agent and former Rose Bowl quarterback. He and his partner, Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey), are investigating a string of bank robberies by a gang known as the "Ex-Presidents" (during their robberies they use masks of former Presidents Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson and Jimmy Carter to disguise their true identities).
Pursuing Pappas' theory that the criminals are surfers, Utah goes undercover to infiltrate the surfing community.Great action scenes and, for me , the best performance of the late patrick Swayze makes this movie an action classic.
