chrisraf Keanu Reeves coming off of his My Own Private Idaho performance. He shows on this movie what he's going to become in the future. This is his action movie coming out party, and it's fantastic! Classic.
nat-dalby Point Break is one of those films that's massively entertaining no matter how many times you watch it. Whilst this is common in the action genre, Point Break stands out in its era by being more of a morally complex story.The villain here is not your usual action villain. Keanu Reeves' character forms a complex bond with him and surfing culture to the point where it breaks his heart to have to bring him down. Swayze plays him like a charismatic cult leader and its believable that he'd sway enough people to get them onside for bank heists, all in the name of adrenaline. This makes Point Break not a film of "bad guys vs good guys" but a real exploration of a subculture and how it gets inside people's heads.It help that this is also a kick ass, brilliantly shot action film, with incredible sequences like the foot chase through LA and the skydiving making it as exciting as it is thoughtful. Unfortunately it came out in the same year as Terminator 2 so was (and is) criminally overlooked.
rvtwax Point break is a lot of fun. It is really enjoyable. you can see it with your family, partner, even with your dog. I would say it is a nice movie and it makes you want to go to the beach and surf. There are a bunch of scenes in which the leading character and sub are surfing. Basically, this is a romance story and bank robber story combined. A policeman who is working the case about really ridiculous bank robbers figures out that they are surfers from a secret camera in a bank. To get info about the bank robbers, he pretends to be a surfer and int he meantime runs into one attractive girl who will cause a lot of......that is scene you will enjoy. What makes the film special is the leading actor who was fabulous. You will definitely have fun and with it.
Kao Ijyu-in This movie was describes about relationship as unusual and delicate friendship between 2 men. The sky diving scene was so beautiful. Music was effective. Keanu Reeves was very shiny. (I have a talk with Keanu about the film at Suzuka, after 8 hours endurance race-Suzuka. He said, "That was very long time ago..." He was so nature and kind person.) ... I miss about Mr.Patrick Swayze.. Rest in Peace...
