Product: Point Break [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 5.0
Great action and photography
Patrick Swayze has to be the star of this show although Keanu Reaves plays a major roll. Reaves plays Johnny Utah, a newly recruited FBI agent who is assigned to work with a partner: Gary Busey. Reaves want to catch "The Ex-Presidents", four bank robbers who wear masks and have never been caught. Busey thinks they are surfers and convinces Reaves of this belief. Reaves goes undercover posing as a surfer without much success but eventually realizes who they are: A group of guys led by Bodhi (Patrick Swayze). Bodhi is a super cool guy who is a great surfer and very charismatic, even to Reaves. But Reaves has a job to do. And busting these guys isn't going to be easy. The action in this show is superb. Great surfing shots, but the best has to be the skydive near the end. The bank robbery where Bodhi and his cohorts discover who Reaves really is has a great chase scene where Bodhi narrowly escapes from Utah (Reaves). This show keeps picking up more and more momentum till the very end. A show you will probably want to keep and watch more than a few times. Reaves and Swayze are believable in their parts. The second skydive at the end depicts two extreme personalities, each trying to out-daredevil the other, but not by design.
