Point Break Audience Reviews

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

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.

soranamicooper Brilliant young cop gets teamed up with brilliant but burnt out cynical old cop. Just the first in a series of cliches that make up this film. I wanted to switch off just a few minutes in but saw it through out of respect for the director, who went on to turn out Hurt Locker and Zero Dark 30, both excellent films. You would absolutely never guess this was also one of hers, though. The action scenes are generally tight - and if action were my thing I'd probably rate it more highly - but the depth of character, tension and drama that characterise the other two films of hers I've seen, not to mention the quality of acting, are in relatively short supply. Sure, it predates the others by 20 odd years, but if this was KB cutting her teeth, she's come a long way since.

Floated2 Point Break has been widely considered as part of a cult classic and classic film of the 1990's. Starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, this film appears to be a good and enjoyable as it has has been praised by fans. Considering the film was remade in 2015, more praise has been appointed to this original film. As many has considered the remake to be a mistake, and that film was panned by critics and did not make as much at the box office as studios hoped.Point Break does offer somewhat cheesy dialogue and context, though it fits in with the atmosphere of the film. The performances by both leads is what makes the film being better than it should, also with strong directing and overall great set pieces in cinematography. Point Break is a fun ride throughout and it doesn't drag for a film with a running time of 2 hours. Many fans have considered and pondered that the original Fast and Furious (2001) has been inspired by Point Break and there is some truth. Replaced with surfing by car racing and the point stands. Perhaps had Point Break been a bigger hit, this very well could have become franchise as the Fast and the Furious. Overall, Point Break is a fun and enjoyable ride and is still great today.

juneebuggy I really enjoyed watching this again all these years later. I can't believe its from 1991. Still stands up well today. A fun, thrilling story with some excellent surfing, skydiving and cool one liners.I guess this would be considered a classic now, following a very young Keanu Reeves as Johnny Utah, a sharpshooting FBI agent who goes undercover as a surfer to stop a crime wave of bank robberies. Utah gets drawn into the lifestyle after meeting surf guru Bodhi (sigh) Patrick Swayze and falling for a cute girl (Lori Petty). His partner Gary Busey wears cool Hawaiian shirts and busts his ass. The ending is brilliant and haunting.I had forgotten many parts of this movie; the stunts are amazing and it was more violent than I remembered. Swayze is gorgeous here. Keanu is kinda cheesy,with his surfing dialogue or maybe that's just how he talks? Yeah its corny at times but also pretty great. Definitely worth a re-watch.
