Rating: 3.0
Endless Summer
"Point Break" is the first R-rated movie I ever saw. It was middle school, and the thrill of the forbidden. It's a fun,cheesy blend of Buddhism, bank robbery, and surfing. Keanu Reeves stars as a police investigator, who's hot on the trail of Bodhi (Patrick Swayze),a bank robber who wears the masks of Presidents. The late Swayze is pitch-perfect as the serene stoner who guides Reeves in the ways of the Force. "Point Break" is one of those bad movies that's so cheesy and campy,it's a cult classic. There's plenty of action, skydiving, philosophizing, a gratuitous love scene--and Swayze carries the movie (would you trust Reeves with THAT???)Patrick Swayze was a great actor and human being. He will be missed. (1952-2009)
