Rating: 4.0
One of the Great Action Flicks
My husband and I have watched this about 20 times. The direction in this movie is fantastic. The cutting, the pacing, sweep you along. It's got one of the best chase scenes ever filmed. Unlike many others reviewers, we both think Keanu is pretty bad, but it really doesn't matter. He's a rubber ducky swept along on the waves. Swayze is much better (and he did most of his own surfing too). Gary Busey is wonderful. Lori Petti is the best of all, a really interesting character, and just burning up with intensity. The surfing scenes are exhilarating, and the sky diving made me, your basic coward, want to go jump out a plane. If I'd been told the plot before I'd seen the movie, I'd probably have avoided it. As it turns out, I love the whole masked presidents bank robbers stuff. Seeing Regan in the gas tank scene is almost worth the whole movie. This is a must see movie for all thriller and action fans.
