A group of bank robbers masked as former presidents have been tearing up the Southern California coast for the past several summers. Essentially this is the problem Reeves' character has once he infiltrates Swayze's group and becomes involved in their whole adrenaline and sun filled lifestyle. It is actually a pretty good performance by Swayze who adds some nice subtext to his character.
Reeves is able to pass through the film mostly because of the setting.
Lori Petty is quite sexy in this early role for her, as Reeves love interest and a former lover of Swayze's character. Gary Busey helps lend some credibility to Reeves character and John McGinley turns in another jerk role to rub our protagonists in the wrong way while Tom Sizemore and singer Anthony Kiedis turn up in small roles too. The picture is a bit grainy at times and looks a bit washed out. The clarity is better than other home video versions that have appeared, but overall the transfer is somewhat of a disappointment. English DTS 5.1 Digital Surround Sound and Dolby Digital 4.1 Soundtracks are included.
