Product: Point Break [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
Intelligent and intense
I remember when I saw the trailers for this film so long ago I thought how stupid could a film get. A bunch of guys robbing banks in masks of the ex-presidents. So I never bothered to see it in the theater. I missed out.This film is phenomenal. And I have to give Keanu Reeves credit. He has a good understanding of what will work on film even though his acting talents are less than exemplary. But he was great in Point Break as a young hot shot FBI agent assigned to hunt down the ex-presidents.Point Break has all the elements that make a film for alot of guys: action, conflict, comedy, some sweet chicks, and ultimately redemption. It just grabs you from the start and never lets you go. Makes me wish that I could surf and chase bad guys and lay up with Lori Petty. Patrick Swayze was great as Boedi the self appointed leader of the ex-presidents.A can't go wrong film!
