Surprisingly boring

Rating: Null/10 (30 April 2016)

"Point Break" was a substantial bomb when it was released in theaters, and it doesn't take long into watching it to figure out why audiences rejected it. Certainly it was hurt by its casting. It isn't just that the actors hired weren't big stars, but they are extremely unconvincing in their roles - Luke Bracey is one of the most unlikely FBI agents I have seen in a movie. The biggest problem I had with the movie is that it's really dull for the most part. Certainly the action sequences are flatly staged and directed, but the material that is between the action sequences should have also had some spark to keep the audience's attention. I will admit that there are a few cool visuals here and there, but their impact is somewhat diluted by the fact that the ENTIRE FILM is shot in murky and dark colors. This is one ugly looking movie. Stick with the original version - it's not a great movie, but it's more competently done than this remake.
