Sweating as a pig before the slaughter

Rating: 4/10 (21 June 2019)

Once, years ago, I have watched the original 'Point Break' with slim Keanu Reeves and extreme Patrick Swayze and, as always, the remake news made me shiver. So, trying to get enjoyment from the movie I have decided to block all the past memories and that's what happened.
Generally speaking, the ideas intersect but many points are different that earns respect for creators. Love that here the main drug for the criminals, the fuel for endeavors is adrenaline. This allows us to be witnesses of wild tricks that make your hands and back sweat like crazy. The intensity delivers the approach of the breaking point where mind sends the signals to stop but the blood rush forces you to continue.
The plotline itself let me down by being kind of chewed: the scenes seems to be in chronological order but then suddenly the scene pops without any sufficient justification just to show yet another high morale talk with charming ambiance.
Returning to an elephant in the room. Although the struggles were made to avoid shot-by-shot remake a bit of iconic moments jumped into the frame and my brain screamed: "It is dumb to put it here!!". Not only scraps of scenes visited us from the past but also the characters with their names freshened the spirits of old times.
Honestly, nobody would notice the name change - meaning that every fan would appreciate a difference rather then not a good tribute. I am not talking about Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez because they did quite a good job, however, the latter could have been less philosophical. I was underscoring Ray Winstone's Pappas that in my opinion was a bleak reminiscence of Gary Busey.
Still shaking from the enormous bursts of adrenaline I would say that the remake as expected didn't work out in a good way but presented with more than formidable extreme portrayal of action that deserves an applause. The problem is that I would rather find the compilation of the tricks on YouTube that rewatch the movie.
