Very disappointed :(
Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
'Point Break (1991)' is a pretty low-level high-concept movie, clearly spawned from an initial logline of an idea that just sounded 'cool'. The result is a series of successful set-pieces and an overall synopsis much more powerful than the string of story-beats used to connect it all together. There's enough here to raise this above the schlock it could have been, though, including decent direction and above-average performances - a pretty nuanced, and perhaps even career-best, turn from Swayze is the highlight. The break-neck action is confidently crafted and practically punching its way through the screen at all times, and it's really this that keeps you on-board throughout. 7/10
If you told me the plot of this movie I would laugh and pass, but after seeing the action, I love it! Bigelow does a great job of keeping the (at the time) cutting edge action scenes, flowing and engaging. Swayze doing his own sky diving scenes were amazing. If you are looking or an Oscar type flick, keep looking, if you are looking for a great action film of any time, look no further!
I went into this with an open mind and I'm a big fan of Keanuu but this was a huge disappointment. His "acting" in this is soooooo bad. He looks like he is lost and unable to really make up for poor dialogue or weak scenes. Patrick is the only saving grace in this film. I don't see what all the hype about this film was. It seriously felt corny and dated all over. Not exciting and nothing we haven't seen a million times before. Just skip this and see SPEED instead! At least that was action packed!
This movie was describes about relationship as unusual and delicate friendship between 2 men. The sky diving scene was so beautiful. Music was effective. Keanu Reeves was very shiny. (I have a talk with Keanu about the film at Suzuka, after 8 hours endurance race-Suzuka. He said, "That was very long time ago..." He was so nature and kind person.) ... I miss about Mr.Patrick Swayze.. Rest in Peace...
