A wolf in sheeps clothing!

Rating: Null/10 (11 March 2002)

The cars were cool , the acting was OK , the stunts were impressive. But ... as i started to watch the film and realised that i had to take my brain out to enjoy it i noticed that the plot and story were a BLATANT rip off of a great film called Point Break which starred Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves.
There are so many similarities , its unbelievable.
For any of you that have seen both films think about it ... and if not , check out Point Break
A rookie undercover cop is sent to infiltrate a gang that is suspected of doing some high profile robbery. The cop befriends a girl (a waitress!!!) to get into the gang. The ringleader however seems to have some personal deathwish and has no regard for his own life. The cop gets a bit too pally with the ringleader and when it comes to the crunch and he has to bust him for his crimes he can't do it. Also , the cop reveals his identity to the girl and she hates him for it.
There are some differences granted (at the end) but somebody i'm sure has watched Point Break and thought 'hey , we could remould this and make another film out of it!' ....
It's a shame if thats the case. Rob Cohen is a cool director and has done some great stuff in the past ..... but this film was a no-no
