Editorial Review:
Young FBI agent Johnny Utah (Reeves) goes undercover at the suggestion of his partner (Gary Busey) to learn if a group of wild surfers is actually a gang of bank robbers. He soon comes under the dangerous spell of the surfers' charismatic leader, Bodhi (Swyaze), a mystical mastermind who'll do absolutely anything for a thrill - and expects his followers to do the same.

Description of Point Break [Blu-ray]:
An unbelievable movie, and deliriously better for it. Keanu Reeves is a hotshot law enforcement dude--Johnny Utah by name--investigating a series of bank robberies in L.A. Four gunmen, disguised in rubber masks of ex-U.S. presidents, have never come close to being caught, but veteran agent Gary Busey has a theory: The bandits are surfers. This prompts the superb line, "The ex-presidents rip off banks to finance the endless summer!" This movie's full of dialogue like that, but instead of sounding ridiculous it creates its own infectious comic-book energy--ride the crest of it and you'll find the film's giddy zone. Patrick Swayze plays Bodhi, zen-master leader of the surfing clan, humming serenely with the wisdom of the waves. (Alarmingly, Swayze also did his own skydiving stunts.) Director Kathryn Bigelow (Strange Days) stages the action sequences with a visceral snap, and clearly has a gift for orchestrating pulp fiction. Though not a huge hit when was first released, Point Break has a well-deserved cult reputation thanks to its video afterlife. The film's executive producer is James Cameron, Bigelow's husband at the time. --Robert Horton

Point Break [Blu-ray] Reviews:
only the best movie ever
2009-10-16 - this movie is best. Kathryn Bigelow is the best director ever. Dont believe me? take a look at k19: the widowmaker. for serious. that movie is like point break, but under the water.

Endless Summer
2009-09-15 - "Point Break" is the first R-rated movie I ever saw. It was middle school, and the thrill of the forbidden. It's a fun,cheesy blend of Buddhism, bank robbery, and surfing. Keanu Reeves stars as a police investigator, who's hot on the trail of Bodhi (Patrick Swayze),a bank robber who wears the masks of Presidents. The late Swayze is pitch-perfect as the serene stoner who guides Reeves in the ways of the Force. "Point Break" is one of those bad movies that's so cheesy and campy,it's a cult classic. There's plenty of action, skydiving, philosophizing, a gratuitous love scene--and Swayze carries the movie (would you trust Reeves with THAT???)

Patrick Swayze was a great actor and human being. He will be missed. (1952-2009)

Entertaining but....
2009-06-02 - This is a relatively fast-paced, no-brainer action flick. The trouble is in the details. Many, many details.

The 1st & biggest problem in my view is where are they? Oh sure, the script says Southern California, but I lived in SoCal for over 25 years (I was living there when this was released to theatres) & I can tell you that there are NO beaches like that anywhere in California. The waves are large & tubular. There are very few surfers on them. The sand is empty of onlookers. There is vegetation nearly to the water. The movie supposedly takes place during August & September (the hottest months in SoCal), yet the surfers are all wearing wetsuits. Trust me, NO surfers would wear wetsuits at that time of year.

Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) lives on the beach in a rather large cottage. With no neighbors. Assuming (as a bank robber) he could afford a beach house, believe me, there are simply no isolated 'shacks' anywhere in SoCal. Another 'little' detail gone wrong.

It was nice seeing Anthony Keidis (lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers) in a cameo role as a hot-headed surf nazi beating up on Keanu Reeves' character, but Keanu himself runs the gamut of emotions from A to B. Just like all his other films. Patrick Swayze does what he can with Bodhi, but the mis-casting is obvious from the start.

Final verdict? If you must see this film, rent it first. Trust me on this.
