 | I saw this movie back in '91 when I was 8 yrs old and I'm a girl. Does this make me weird? I don't think so. I've loved Keanu Reeves since I saw him in the Disney film Young Again and Patrick Swayze since Dirty Dancing, so when these two paired up I couldn't believe it at the time. And what a pairing it was!
Some of the best action sequences I have ever seen are in this film. Who has yet to have their face almost put into a lawnmower or chased a surfin "Ronald Reagan"? No one because Point Break is a one of a kind original! This movie also has some very funny and smart dialogue which most action films lack. If you haven't seen this movie you are missing out on some serious hotness by Mr. Reeves, crazy ass antics by Gary Busey, and an over the top but necessary performance by Patrick Swayze. So what are you waiting for? Go with the wind and get it now! |

| So why did he have to make a decision of shooting him or pulling the chute? How about shooting him, dropping the gun and then pulling the chute with the SAME hand? There's poor scriptwriting and then there's this. If you enjoy action/aventure, then it probably won't matter. But if you enjoy solid scriptwriting, you could find much better in this genre even. It was fast-paced and exciting, I'll give it that, but come on. |

| I saw this movie when it originally came out and have seen it probably 10 times since, which says a lot as I normally don't watch movies multiple times. I recently saw Keanu here in New York (waiting in line like everyone else at the snackbar at Shakespeare in the Park!) and was prompted to go rent this movie, once again. It is a great, action packed thrilled that is not your typical action movie by any means. I love the music, the cinematography, and the actors-including the brief part by The Red Hot Chili Pepper's Anthony Kedis. This moving makes you want to take up surfing, or at least give it a try. Not to mention sky diving. Highly recommended.

| Growing up in the streets of Detroit, Michigan, I can totally relate to this action packed movie that deals with surfing and robbing banks. I have been surfing the waves of Lake Superior, Lake St. Clair, and The Detroit River my whole life and am yet to see as realistic of surfing scenes as those portrayed in the film Point Break. This may be the best cast ever assembled on the movie screen featuring Patrick Swayze (Bodhizapta) and my personal favorite/hero Keanu Reeves (Special Agent Johnny Utah). This is Reeves at his best, blowing away his performance in the Matrix and Sweet November. The story takes place on the beaches of Southern California where a group of surfers have been ripping off banks dressed as the "Ex-Presidents" in order to fund their "Endless Summer." Special Agent John Utah, freshly out of the Academy, hooks up with Special Agent Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey) to identify the ex-presidents and end the serial bank robberies taking place before the criminals take refuge out of the country searching for the ultimate ride. So you may ask, "what's the biggest?" The answer is simple, "Bell's Beach Australia." You see there is a fifty years storm that starts swelling up in the artic regions and makes its way to Bell's Beach, Australia. Just remember one thing "If you want the ultimate, you have to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It is not tragic to die doing something you love." Surf's up dudes. |

| The ultimate surf movie with all the lingo and enough attitude to make anybody want to take up surfing.
This 1991 movie starring up and coming Keanu Reeves as Special Agent Johnny Utah wanting to make name by solving a series of bank robberies in L.A.
Johnny goes under cover and meets up with a sexy surfer
(Lori Petti)who teaches him the basics and introduces him to surf guru Bodhi (Partick Swayze)
They become best friends and Johnny overlooks the possibility that his new friend could be the leader and brain behind the bank robberies.
With plenty of surfing, sky diving and chases, this makes it one of Reeves's most understated movies yet.
A thread of good against evil is present through out the story, and Johnny's choices to take the right decisions are ever evident.
Good entertainment. A surf movie that actually has some dialogue! |
