Point Break review by RP
Preposterous story, wooden acting, but fun in a cheesy kind of way
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
Keanu Reeves has always been a little wooden in the acting department, as confirmed by the wooden persona he played later in 'The Matrix'. 'Point Break' is no exception as he plays a preposterous role in a preposterous story, managing it all with a straight face. He plays a naive FBI agent paid to learn to surf to infiltrate a gang of bank robbing surfer dudes. Directed by Kathryn Bigelow who went on to greater things with 'The Hurt Locker', it is perhaps the quality of the directing which keeps the silly plot together. It also stars Patrick Swayze who a couple of years earlier starred in another classic cheesy movie 'Roadhouse' – so bad it's good. 'Point Break' doesn't deserve the 'so bad it's good' tag, but comes pretty close. 3/5 stars – you may well enjoy it.
