Product: Point Break [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 4.0
am i rating the product or the movie?
Keanu Reeves plays a fresh from the academy FBI agent who goes under cover as a surfer to find a bank robbing group who calls themselves the ex-presidents, action ensues. The movie never takes it's self too seriously though, so as long as you don't either, it's enjoyable. This was after Keanu's Bill and Ted days but before the Speed and Matrix days. Since Keanu already sort of talks with a surfer accent people who are turned off by this normally might not mind. Patrick Swayze is the cool head surfer/ spiritual leader, Lori Petty is great as the love interest, and Gary Busey is great as crazy Gary Busey. Style wise, I would put it on par with Speed for action, plot, and corny/awesome one liners. If you liked Speed for any reason other than just Sandra Bulock, then you may like Point Break as well.
