To me one of the best action movies of the 90's. Point Break is a 1991 action heist 100 percent pure adrenaline rush movie. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow and stars: Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey. This review is only dediceted to Point Break fans and no one else. If you love the movie come read my review I am also reviewing this movie on YouTube I am going to defend it. I Love this film to death, I have a history with this film. This is going to be one of my hardest reviews I have done before. I would say the movie halped me get trough tough times in the year 2005. I am also going to defend this movie and Keanu Reeves character Johnny Utah.
The movie made me in to Keanu Reeves fan I am today. Point Break is my number 1 favorite Keanu Reeves movie. Top five his best movies would be Point Break, John Wick ,The Matrix, Speed and Constantine. The Year 2005 my year become one of my worst years ,I drop out sophmore year in secondary school, quit my job, I had health problems with my weight. My mom was rushed middle of the night in the hospital. I went end of school year with this group on a tour visiting Poland for 10 days, when I come back my father was rushed in to hospital he had a surgery. By the time he was in hospital I found out this movie Point Break (1991) on VHS tape when I taped it long time ago and I kept watching it and I was entertained. And after many times watching it I become a huge fan of Keanu Reeves and Point Break become my favorite action movie of all time. Die Hard (1988), Die Hard: With a Vengeance, The Last Boy Scout, Point Break and Hard Target movies really helped me get trough hard times. Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey sucks! I hate that movie! I try many times to get it, but I couldn't, I hate it. Point Break is MILES way better than Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey that Keanu Reeves did!
There was a remake of Point Break in 2015 and it sucks donkey ass! Remake is garbage with CGI and a lot of green color Picture. It can't come near this movie!
The story is about a bank robbery crew name as the "Ex-Presidents" robbering banks during summer time. They robbed 27 banks so far in three years, they end in up 60 seconds no one gets shoot. So far they were never caught. Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) is a former Ohio State quarterback who just graduate from academy with straight A, top of his class and becomes an F.B.I. Agent who was sent in to Bank roberry devision and his assigment is to catch "Ex-Presidents". His new partner experienced agent and Vietnam veteran Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey) has theory that "Ex-Presidents" are actually surfers. So Johnny agrees to go surfing and with help from a few DNK hairs. Johnny Utah founds out Quantico Beach is were the crew "Ex-Presidents" are surfing. Johnny on the beach meets Tyler (Lori Petty) a tough tomboy chick who can surf like a devil and is a very reluctant mentor as well. Johnny goes undercover as a lawyer and a surfer who meets through her, Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) the charismatic leader of a gang of surfers consisting of Roach, Grommet, and Nathaniel. On the way there is a lot of heat, action, blood, chases, shootings, skydiving, football, throwing a dog and more.
I love the ocean, the surfing scens, there is no CGI the ocean, the sea scens are for real. The stunts are practical they are dangerous. The sky diving is for real Swayze I think Reeves they both skydive for real I enjoy those scenes. The football scene is great executed. Utah is Chasing Bodhi and he catches him they both fly in the water great scene. The movie has tons of action. I love the fist cuffs on the end between Bodhi and Utah I love the finale. I love the fight sequence when this group of Nazi surffers attacks Johny and Bodhi comes to his rescue. I love that they both use martial arts. Patrick Swayze is excellent in martial arts. There is this great chase Johnny is chasing Ex President wearing Reagan mask leader of the gang on the gas station. Real practical action stunt effect from Keanu Reeves and his stunt double well done, (I don't see a shaky cam in the chase unlike in Furious 7 fight between Statham and Johnson). The foot chase is my favorite scene in the film. It is well executed, Reegan throws dog on Utah, but he kicks it a side that was a fake dog thank god. I love animals specially dogs so much. The fight between Utah and Reegan were actually stunt doubles fighting in the flame it was practical done you can see the camera because it shows different face of Utah.
You have a great raid shootout scene in the house this guy Bunker (Chris Pedersen) pulls a 16 bullpup assault rifle and fiers at Pappas. Utah with his service SIG-Sauer pistol puts Bunker down and kills him, great shoot out scene executed. War Child (Vincent Klyn) leader of the gang uses Sentinel Arms Striker shootgun on Utah, of course Utah fires back. You have a great scene in which Utah gets attacked by a naked girl in the bathroom. Utah jumps on War Child they both fly out of the window you have great choreograph fight scene. War Child try's to stab Utah, but he knocks his knive in the lawn mower. You have a great shootout scene in the bank, an off duty cop pulls his service gun and starts shooting on a bank robbers and Swayze puls his Freedom Arms Model 83 revolver and kills him. Johnny Utah jumps out of an airborne plane with no parachute, catches Bodhi while he's skydiving down to the desert below (similar to the opening of Moonraker), and holds his own revolver on him, that scene was impossible they called have not talked on the air. The show Mythbusters actually tried this scenario out, and it was determined that it Would have been possible for Utah to catch Bodhi from the plane within the time alotted. They actually timed it and tried it, with parachutes. (They also determined that the noise from the rushing air would have made it impossible for Utah and Bodhi to hold any sort of conversation. However, this is a Hollywood action film & the longstanding tradition is to make the impossible possible onscreen.) This is fiction action film, so in movie is anything possible.
Keanu Reeves's best performance as Johnny Utah he ever played his best character. Patrick Swayze is awesome as Bodhi the leader of "Ex-Presidents" I love that Bodhi is intellegent mastermind and he uses martial arts I love that. This is in my top 5 favorite Patrick Swayze movies I really miss the guy R.I.P. 1: Road House, 2: Steel Dawn, 3: Point Break (1991), 4: Black Dog and 5: Next of Kin. Gary Busey was excellent as Angelo Pappas I love the guy I love him. He shoot and killed 2 memebers of the gang "Ex-Presidents" with his revolver Charter Arms Undercover - .38 Special and he killed a gunman who held a young woman as a hostage, he shots him in the head and he save the hostage I love that. Kathryn Bigelow's best movie, she is a hot lady. James Cameron in here is an (executive producer) he is Bigelow's ex husband. Rick King helped to wrote a story with W. Peter Iliff who later wrote an excellent screenplay for the movie. Rick King directed Kickboxer 3: The Art of War (1992). There was this guy surperior by the F.B.I. FBI Director Ben Harp played by John C. McGinley who was mean to Utah and Pappas and Pappas punched him who deserve it. The script is great, I love Angelo's lines before he punches him.
Point Break (1991) is one of the best action movies of all time, I am defending this movie. Johnny Utah is not the worst F.BI. agent i want listen to idiots who are mocking Keanu Reeves who played the character great. Thanks to Johnny F.B.I. found the gang cause they couldn't find anything in 3 years, he break the ring and the case, he finished Ex-Presidents forever he saved his girlfrined Lori Petty good performance from the actress. This movie is not better than Heat (1995) but deserves to be right there with Heat (1995) one of the best 90's action heist movies. It is Rated R for violence, language and brief nudity. I love the line "I am an F.B.I Agent.", "Respect for my elders." I love this movie to death, it is in my top 15 favorite action movies of all time.
I love Nobody Rides for Free song played by Ratt on the end of the credits. I love the beautiful song Hundreds of Tears by Sheryl Crow. The only problem I have is with Blu-ray disc release this movie needs to be remastered, we need special edition and better HD Picture quality over this years we did not got nothing. So this is my hardest review I have done before, beacuse I don't watch this movie all the time. I really miss action classic movies like Point Break (1991) nowdays they don't make em like this anymore. This movie is better than The Fast and the Furious, Drop Zone, Terminal Velocity, The Hurt Locker and Blue Steal my opinion!
