The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreThe film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
... View MorePoint BreakIt may have a fresh approach with some interesting twists and turns to a typical buddy cop movie but having said that it lacks enough concrete material to feed the audience for around 2 complete hours. Kathryn Bigelow; an acclaimed director, would execute such a feature comes as a bit shock for it barely seeks attention from the audience no matter how much "used formula" it might use. Keanu Reeves did not seem at its best and unfortunately wasn't supported strongly by the cast like Patrick Swayze and Lori Petty. Point Break might work for a younger audience that seeks a typical popcorn fun time but beyond that their barely is something to explore in it on terms of craft.
... View MoreIf you told me the plot of this movie I would laugh and pass, but after seeing the action, I love it! Bigelow does a great job of keeping the (at the time) cutting edge action scenes, flowing and engaging. Swayze doing his own sky diving scenes were amazing. If you are looking or an Oscar type flick, keep looking, if you are looking for a great action film of any time, look no further!
... View MoreI somehow missed this movie for the longest time and finally got around to watching it the other day. I'm very glad I did.The early 90's action movie genre is a time capsule that takes the viewer back to a different time period. There are many of them that do this but not any that do it better than this. Yes, this plot is ridiculous and gets more and more so as we approach the end but that is besides the point. The action scenes in this one are top notch and Busey's performance is absolutely perfect as the partner. Reeves' acting can sometimes be cringe-worthy but the rest of the cast props him up. This one has some great one-liners and needs to be seen by any action movie fan.
... View MorePoint 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.
