Point Break | Description: Action thriller containing lots of skydiving stunts Year: 1991 Classification: Action Country: USA Language: English Directed: - Kathryn Bigelow Actors/Actresses: - Gary Busey - Keanu Reeves - Tom Sizemore - Patrick Swayze AWESOME MOVIE! SWAYZE IS THE RIGHT CHOICE This indeed is one good action flick with a high amount of tension built up from start to finnish. Keanu Reeves plays Johnny Utah, former college football player turned fbi agent whose first assigment is to locate and inflatrate a gang of surfurs who rob banks. Swazyee is the gang's leader Bodi, a wise cool calculating indivdual who takes Utah for a ride through his bizzare neitherworld. One great scene was a footchase between Reeves and Swayzee after a bank robbery, Utah had bodi in his sights to shoot him but under the misguided sense of loyatly he did not. From that moment on Bodi realizes that Utah is FBI Agent and tends to get even with him. The film is fantastic Both Swayze and Reeves play the antoignists very well and are belivable in their roles. Gary Busey plays Angelo, Utah's seinor officer whose death scene was one of the memorable scenes in the film. Great action ranked as one of the best i have seen and if you want to see Keanu before all "THE MATRIX" hype i recommend seeing this film. Exhilirating, Artistic, Great Entertainment "Point Break" is Bigelow at her best. It has wonderful artistic moments ,with the waves used by the villainous surfers, as well as a group parachuting scene with the hero and villains all holding hands in a circle in the air. The actors are well paired with both Keanu Reeve as the hero FBI agent who learns how to surf to catch the ex-Presidents bank robbers. Patrick Swayze, in his best role, plays a guru philosopher surfer who heads up the bank robbers, wearing a Ronald Reagan mask during the armed robberies. The bank robberies by the 4 surfers in their ex-presidents' masks verge on the hilarious. The final surfing footage with Swayze and Reeve in Australia is breathtaking. "Point Break" is well worth owning. Writer-director Kathryn Bigelow was a very talented painter before she went to film school to become a movie director. It shows in her work which is very artistic for someone primarily known to the action-adventure genre of filmmaking. She is a breath of fresh air in this genre, investing it with literate scripts and haunting imagery. Her most frequent producer is James Cameron (the action wonder king, "Titanic," "Terminator"), who is also her ex-husband. You can see his influence on her work as well. Get Me Two! This awesome action movie is the original 'Fast and the Furious' where surfers with souls are used instead of expensive cars and special effects. Keanu Reeves is perfect for the role as Johnny Utah,the cocky "quarterback punk" fbi agent who has to infiltrate the deep roots of a clan of surfers who rob banks. Garey Busey is a gem as the Utah's crazy partner, Angelo, and Patrick Swayze makes a perfect anti-villain, Bodi. The action is never-ending, the surfing scenes are amazing (even if Keanu learns how to surf a bit too quickly) and then there's that great chemistry between Swayze and Reeves..two action junkies from completely different backgrounds but that same carnal desire for madness! This film is must for anyone who thinks Vin Diesel is a good anarchist with a spiritual side.. wait 'til you meet Bodi!
