I was recently recommended by the Netflix platform to watch this movie, I believe it was in the Classics category. It was a welcome recommendation.
The film's premise of taking an FBI police officer to investigate bank robbers among surfers, given some hypotheses, works well. The story gains rhythm and dynamism linearly. Anti-hero Bodhi questions and challenges the viewer and justice by taking sides with God in conversation with Officer Utah. The very ending of the film refers to this duality in a striking scene on the beach.
The film brings back memories of the distant past of the 1990s seeing "tube" style computers and phones that could only make calls.
Although dull in action scenes and fights, the film manages to entertain and proposes interesting reflections on freedom and the need for the police as a moderating agent.
