Movie Description
POINT BREAK is the high-velocity thrill ride in which clean-cut FBI agent Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) goes head to head with surfer renegade Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) in this nonstop action drama. Utah is assigned to go undercover, investigating a string of 28 bank robberies by a gang called the Ex-Presidents. With very little to go on, as the Ex-Presidents are adept at their trade, deal only in cash, and never leave behind clues, Utah's only lead comes from his partner, Pappas (Gary Busey). Pappas believes that the Ex-Presidents are a surfer gang, lead by charismatic adrenalin junkie Bodhi. Posing as a surfer himself, Utah slowly becomes a member of Bodhi's gang, enticed by his energy and craziness. As Utah's investigation goes deeper, with dazzling extreme sports hijinks that involve night surfing, sky diving, and well-executed bank robberies that serve as the glue between his world and Bodhi's, Utah must ultimately choose between duty and friendship. Director Kathryn Bigelow presents a well-sculpted masterpiece with this action-lover's dream, adding another gem to an already glowing filmography (K-19: THE WIDOWMAKER, WILD PALMS, and THE WEIGHT OF WATER).
Industry Reviews
"...[The director] keeps the action percolating in high style....Reeves proves a resourceful actor..."
Rolling Stone - p.73 - Peter Travers
"...[POINT BREAK] reveals [Bigelow's] real talents as a director of fast-paced, high-adrenaline action..."
New York Times - p.C12 - Janet Maslin
"...Its purely visceral material (surf sounds, skydiving stunt work, a tough indoor shootout midway through) are first-rate..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (07/12/1991)
4 stars out of 5 -- "POINT BREAK is a big, fun, ridiculous movie that everyone should see at least once."
