Give Em A Break, It's Okay

Rating: 7/10 (16 June 2017)

Yes, the characters and motivations are fairly shallow, although enviro-spiritualism should be recognizably trendy. Yet, the action and the scenery is inspiring. In comparison, this is like a Bond movie : 1) Bad guy willing to to use any means to an end meets good guy trying to stop him. 2) Good guy and bad guy might even find some shared values and love interests. 3) Together they race through beautiful scenery with sometimes implausible technological assists. 4) Creating a bit of suspense amidst a lot of amazing visual perspectives. I generally rate Bond movies 6 to 8. This Point Break remake is at least as good as Bond action and better in some ways - mainly it's a bit more plausible. Instead of a super spy and diabolical bad guy both with unreal tech tools, it's 'sort of real' extreme athletes doing radically dangerous action. Just enjoy the scenery and stunt action.
