An action classic. Everyone in this film holds their own. The action is great and it remains one of my 90s favorites of the genre. This gem is way too underrated.
UGHHHHH I LOVEEE THIS FILM SO FRESH SO PERFECT TO WATCH LOVEIT
"Goddamn! You are one radical son of a bitch!"
It was either that quote or "I know Johnny. I know you want me so bad it's like acid in your mouth." HAHA. This movie is awesome and I wish I had seen this years ago. Patrick Swayze in his prime was unstoppable. Oh and Keanu is classic Keanu.
Throwing a pitbull in a chase scene is a first for me lol. But keanu catching it and then drop kicking it is straight comedy. What were they thinking.
6.5 / 10:
The foot chase was great!
The writing by King & Iliff could have used more polish (and thought).
This movie is pure 90s action cheese in my opinion and that can be a good thing or a bad thing, but in the case of Point Break, it is a good thing because the film is actually a fun watch and keeps you invested throughout with a few cliches and stereotypes in-between.
The one thing that stood out to me was the action which was really well done and you can tell that Kathryn Bigelow and her team really know how to do action right with all real stunts and some truly awe-inspiring scenes.
A solid movie from start to finish
image 3.5 / 5 and sound 3.75 / 5. View the edition usa, with better image and extras. This film is still good, it has not lost anything, Although everyone is much younger. The movie fast and furious takes a "few" ideas from this movie
Always loved this movie…. Stands the test of time. It’s fast, entertaining and I still love it
Surprisingly entertaining, even after all these years.

"Young, dumb, and full of cum."
A boring first half that completely lost me (too much surfing, beach ball scenes, casual conversations and boring romance) followed by a good second half that got me back. There's definitely some action sequences but I hesitate calling this an action movie, it's very similar to Heat in that sense. The crime aspect is it's strong suit. The Ex-Presidents gang was kinda cool and the mole aspect is always interesting. A few decent action scenes but mostly forgettable. The scene with thugs fighting Keanu Reeves on the beach was perhaps my favorite. The romance never worked for me. The acting is just ok. Some comical dialogue here and there but i'm not sure if that's intentional. Good ending.
Who else kept expecting a shark to pop up?
Awesome movie for it’s day still a good movie only missing on the visuals now
A group of surfers is dedicated to robbing banks.
It’s a fine summer movie. A lot of that is achieved by its built in safety net (surfing; extreme sports), because as a movie it’s far from perfect. For once, the dialogue and acting are mostly ass, there are so many unintentionally funny lines in this. I quite liked how the characters are written though, the writer seems to have an odd fetish for characters with severe anger management issues (or maybe that’s part of its attempt to critique masculinity, IDK). The story, however, takes a lot of turns that are inexcusably dumb and predictable, even for a movie as cheesy as this one (why is your mole part of the police raid?). Then there’s the action scenes, which are also a bit of a mixed bag. Take the chase around the halfway mark, for example. It starts like an alright, somewhat forgettable car chase, but the foot chase it evolves into is this very visceral, memorable sequence. In fact, it’s so iconic that Hot Fuzz references back to it. The climax is imaginative and inspired, but perhaps it was so difficult to capture that it doesn’t have the best camerawork. All in all, a lot of its appeal comes down to it essentially being GTA in movie form, as told through the police.
6/10
Premise - 13/20 - Undercover FBI becomes a surfer to investigate bank robberies. OK, I'll bite, but not hard.
Cast/characters - 15/20 - Keanu is a plus. Patrick is a plus-plus. Lori Petty as a surfer works for me. Gary Busey isn't quite as crazy here. The extra characters were just guys.
Story - 16/20 - Story wasn't much of a surprise, even when I saw it the first time. The ending is satisfactory. The story could have been a little shorter; movies around this time seemed to have male bonding done within a sports activity, a fight, or both. The best part is the choice Johnny has to make between his career and his friends.
Dialogue - 13/20 - Enjoyable, slightly deep, not that special.
World-building - 17/20 - The immersion into the surfing world was interesting. The scenery was beautiful.
74/100 - 3.5/5 stars - Two legends doing what they do. No harm in that. Sit back and enjoy the wave.
AMMAZING OMGGG I LOVE KEANU AND PATRICK AND LORI gary is ok but eh. his character was weird. dindt like him too much
The birth of Johnny Silverhand...?
Jk jk. That foot chase scene has to be one of the best. 80s/90s were truly the golden age of cinema, esp action films. The second half of the film loses its momentum a bit and the writing is a bit loose but overall its entertaining enough.
This 90’s classic has Swayze and Keanu on top form. Why have I only just discovered this, it was amazing.
This classic is very underrated and definitely stands the test of time. Watching it right now, 30 years later (I'm not old, you're old!), and it has it all - comedy, drama, romance, thrill-seeking, 2 relatively unknowns that went on to become super-stars (Swayze & Reeves) and quite possibly the most lovable NARC/undercover in the history of film, and a proper soundtrack to boot!
An action sports movie with a side of bank robberies, yes please. The action and robberies are good and shot well. Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves as the leads are both great. They seem to share something more than love for surfing if you know what I mean. "You want me so bad, it's like acid in your mouth."
That movie is great the way it is. I wouldn't touch the remake with a pair of pliers.
Why do they keep remaking classics? The new one can't hold Gary's jock strap.
buy it: a swayze claasic. great suspense crime movie
