Rating: Summary: The greatest surf movie EVER! Review: I liked this movie for 2 reasons. 1 because of the action and the surfing. And 2 because of the acting between Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. Reeves plays an FBI agent who teams with surfers who rob banks. Swayze plays Bodhi, Reeves' new friend and the leader of the gang. Gary Busey and John C. McGinley were also great in the movie. I give it 3 1/2 stars. It was just great.
Rating: Summary: Point Break-Hell Yeah!!! Review: This movie rocks! Buy it now! Horrible acting buy keanu, but what's new, he always sucks. But he can't ruin this movie. This is one great movie!
Rating: Summary: don't buy the dvd Review: all the dvd is, is the vhs version with the top and bottom cut off on the screen. i rented the vhs and dvd together one day and found once you get passed the widescreen intro that the vhs version actually shows more of the movie. the dvd is the full screen version with the top and bottom removed! this is ridiculous. go rent it yourself and see.
Rating: Summary: Pure Adrenaline High Review: Here we have Keanu Reeves, the undercover agent, on the hunt for Swayze's gang of bank robbers, all dressed in masks of the former Presidents. Not a bad premise, and not a bad movie. It works very well, even though Swayze is short on the acting. In fact, there isn't much "acting" involved. This is pure action-based, and the scenes of the sky diving are awesome, as well as the end of the film, when Swayze finds the perfect wave. If you like adventure, this is the film for you.
Rating: Summary: Keanu on the hunt for surfing dude Swayze! Review: While this film might be seen as a Lethal Weapon-type action/drama, it proves far more provoking and rewarding. This epic drama (no joke!) very successfully analyzes Keanu's being drawn from a life of rigid authority through the massive gray expanse that is Swayze's surfing, sky-diving, and bank-robbing world. Both guys play the roles of their careers (Gary Busey too) - catch it if you can... ;)

Rating: Summary: Funny & engaging Review: Point Break sports a line-up of 90s stars like Keanu Reaves & Patrick Swayze. Johnny Utah (Keanu) is an FBI agent transferred to Los Angeles where the sunshine, surf and music take his fancy. Special Agent Utah goes undercover among the surfers of the Californian south coast to investigate a near perfect string of bank robberies. There he meets his dark alter ego called Bodhi (Swayze), who becomes a dangerous teacher to him. However, Johnny is quick on the uptake: he stalks his prey ever mindful of Bodhi's most important lesson: If you want the ultimate thrill, you must be prepared to pay the ultimate price. Quite an entertaining movie although it is filled with all those familiar cliches of the teen movie genre, the most amusing being Keanu surfing in the stormy waves and yelling it out: "I am Johnny Yooootaw ...!
Rating: Summary: One Of The Best Action Thrillers Of All Time Review: Before "Speed", before "The Matrix" or any of a half dozen other memorable films that Keanu Reeves has been in, there was "Point Break". For sheer action, adrenaline, and quick thrills, nothing compares to this cops and robber movie set in the surfer sub culture of southern California. Keanu Reeves plays a young FBI recruit (Johnny Utah) on his first assignment, and lands in the middle of a bank robbery mystery that has been unraveling for several years. A group calling themselves the Ex-Presidents, and wearing outlanding disguises as Ron Reagan, Dick Nixon, Jimmy Carter and Lyndon Johnson, have successfully been looting area banks, so far without shooting or killing anyone. Reeves' older partner, played masterfully here by Gary Busey, confides to Keanu that he believes the bank robbers are surfers, who hit banks to support their wandering lifestyles, following the waves. Suddenly the stage is set for a masterful cat and mouse game between Busey and Reeves on the one hand, and a group of surfers led by Patrick Swayze, on the other. The movie has everything, from gloriously photographed scenes of surfing to outrageous action sequences which are choreographed so memorably that they become the coda for the movie. There are several exceptional chase scenes, including one that is run by foot through yards, houses, and streets. In the end, it is a powerful allegory regarding the meaning of contemporary life and the rules we all try to live by, but in the meantime it is also a hell of an entertaining ride on the rollercoaster that Reeves and Busey have to ride in pursuit of the Ex-Presidents! "Surfers rule, I swear to God". Hahaha. Inside joke that you'll understand after viewing the film. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Bad Review: It wasn't a good movie. It isn't for kids. The movie had a lot of things that didn't need to be show and played.
Rating: Summary: Terribly Disappointing Review: This was a horrible movie to say the least. I was greatly disappointed. It was highly immoral and most of the people hardly had any clothes on. Besides that kind of stuff, the movie portrayed the rebellious, thieving bad guys as the good guys. By the end of the movie, you actually started to feel sorry for the bad guys. Not worth anyone's time.
