Review of Point Break (2015) by Dharma — 16 Apr 2016
The original Point Break is memorable because of its original casts: Keanu Reeves and the late Patrick Swayze. Both were hot properties at the time and they have great 'bromance' chemistry onscreen. It was also directed by Kathryn Bigelow.
..who was at the time a great action movie director. This needless remake is the polar opposite of the original. It ups the ante in term of extreme sports, but it has no spark...no chemistry between the leads.
Both main casts are wooden as hell...the action scenes strive to be great but ends up lifeless. If you're stuck in a 20 hours flight and you have nothing to watch, then you might give this a go. Otherwise, stick to the original.
