Product: Point Break [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 4.0
Extremely Entertaining!
Let's see here. We have Patrick Swayze as the Zen-Buddhist, bank robbing, surfer guru Bodhi. We have Keanu Reeves as Johnny "I AM A FBI AGENT!" Utah. We have Gary "I was once nominated for a Best Actor Oscar" Busey as Utah's over-the-hill partner. We have an absurd plot about surfers, bank robberies, and FBI agents. It looks like we have all the ingredients for a bad movie: bad actors, hammy acting, and a really stupid plot.Yet "Point Break" is a very entertaining film. It is fast paced and fun. It's the kind of movie that you just slip your brain into neutral and sit back and enjoy. Of course, it's a hoot to watch Keanu as Johnny Utah. (Gotta love that name!) Keanu is at his wooden best here and he delivers some real knee-slappers.
