Watch it for the stunt sequences, especially neat in 3D, but if you're looking for a story you won't find one.

"The only law that matters is gravity." Johnny Utah (Bracey) is a former extreme sport athlete who has joined the FBI. After investigating a series of crimes he thinks that those involved live the same lifestyle he used to and it is up to him to stop them. The closer he gets to Bodhi (Ramirez), the leader the farther he falls back into his old ways and the line between agent and criminal begins to blur. This is a hard movie to review. Mainly because other than awesome stunt sequences the movie didn't know what it wanted to do. The original had an actual plot that involved bank robbers that were surfers. In that movie Utah infiltrated the group in order to stop them. This movie started off with the robbery idea, but quickly tossed it aside and forgot about it. This movie tried to become Fast and Furious, but again the plot got lost. It seemed to me the filmmakers wanted to make a movie about extreme sports and didn't worry too much about what happened in between the stunts. It did borrow form the original movie, but more in the way a book does. By that I mean you need to see the original to fill in the massive plot holes in this one for any of the story to make sense. Overall, watch it for the stunt sequences, especially neat in 3D, but if you're looking for a story you won't find one. I give this a C+.
