One of the VERY Best and Most Thrilling Films I've Seen.

I loved everything about the picture: the acting, the surfing and skydiving scenes, the radical mentality, the characters, and the adrenaline. Watching Point Break every time makes me want to go out and jump 15,000 feet in the air. Two mentions of Point Break are desired: Patrick Swayze and Kathryn Bigelow. The former should have been given accolades for his role as Bodhi. There hasn't been a truly likable villain in the likes of Bodhi since Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber from Die Hard. Not only Bodhi is likable, I just wished things have turned out differently. He is a villain, period. The latter, Kathryn Bigelow...this gotta be the first time ever that I know that a female director that actually made a thrilling, exciting action picture. That's a groundbreaking directorial effort. I found the acting in Point Break to be excellent: Keanu Reeves, Lori Petty, Gary Busey, John G. McGinley, and Bodhi's friends, not to forget to mention the arch-rivals including Anthony Kedeis of Red Hot Chili Peppers. If anyone wanted to be thrilled by a movie, one of them has to be Point Break. Hands down, Point Break is one of the best action movies made. I can't believe it's been 15 years since Point Break was made, and rarely an action movie has met the standard of Point Break. When I think of movies in the likes of Point Break, XXX, Days of Thunder, and The Last of the Mohicans are the movies that come to my mind.
