Review of Point Break (2015) by Tvjerry — 05 Jan 2016
The 1991 version of this movie was set in the world of surfers. This remake has expanded to all manner of extreme sports and it’s the only reason for the film. Luke Bracey plays a new FBI agent who infiltrates the athletes to discover why they commit splashy crimes.
The structure is simple: daring feats (wingsuit flying, big wave surfing, extreme snowboarding) alternate with tedious encounters laced with ludricous dialogue. Even with all the spectacular locales and dizzying stunts, the action is seldom thrilling.
Pair that with the deadly drama and the film is honed a dull point.
