HANDS DOWN THE BEST MOVIE EVER MADE
Growing up in the streets of Detroit, Michigan, I can totally relate to this action packed movie that deals with surfing and robbing banks. I have been surfing the waves of Lake Superior, Lake St. Clair, and The Detroit River my whole life and am yet to see as realistic of surfing scenes as those portrayed in the film Point Break. This may be the best cast ever assembled on the movie screen featuring Patrick Swayze (Bodhizapta) and my personal favorite/hero Keanu Reeves (Special Agent Johnny Utah). This is Reeves at his best, blowing away his performance in the Matrix and Sweet November. The story takes place on the beaches of Southern California where a group of surfers have been ripping off banks dressed as the "Ex-Presidents" in order to fund their "Endless Summer." Special Agent John Utah, freshly out of the Academy, hooks up with Special Agent Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey) to identify the ex-presidents and end the serial bank robberies taking place before the criminals take refuge out of the country searching for the ultimate ride. So you may ask, "what's the biggest?" The answer is simple, "Bell's Beach Australia." You see there is a fifty years storm that starts swelling up in the artic regions and makes its way to Bell's Beach, Australia. Just remember one thing "If you want the ultimate, you have to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It is not tragic to die doing something you love." Surf's up dudes.
