I really like Keanu Reeves. But boy, does Patrick Swayze steal the show. In what is maybe the most charismatic role of his career, he makes Keanu develop a serious man-crush on him, and we can all understand why Keanu couldn't do what he was about to do in one of the most iconic scenes of the film.
If only we had more directors like Kathryn Bigelow. This woman showed more balls in this one movie than most male directors will ever have in a lifetime. The shots are bold, dynamic; the directing is intense and energetic - I fell in love with this film and Kathryn Bigelow the moment I saw the first shots.
If you haven't already - please go watch this movie. It has aged very well - in fact, I feel like it hasn't lost any of its power, which in my book is a sign for an outstanding achievement. It feels as fresh as those waves it managed to capture in incredible style.
