Tough to sit through.

Rating: 3/10 (16 January 2016)

This movie lacked heart as well as any connection to the characters. Utah already being a known adrenaline junkie and extreme sports athlete leaves nothing left to develop with the lead character. He is just a bro with a badge hanging out with bros without one. Pappas served almost no purpose in this version, they might as well have written his character out completely instead of having him appear as an after thought on screen.
The color grading effect of increasing blues/greens while minimizing warm colors is all wrong for this film. Everyone looked like they had the flu most of the time. The stunts and location shots were pretty cool, but wasted on a film that desperately needed more substance if it wanted to prove better than the original Point Break. The acting was flat and the storyline was paper thin in my opinion.
YES, I love the original, but I gave this one a fair shot in hopes that it would impress me. It didn't. The original wasn't an Oscar picture, but it had so much heart and spirit in it you'd think it was a member of Bodhi's crew.
