Point Break

Bodacious bank robbers bullying brand new FBI agent into surfing. Movie rocked, stupid it took me so long to watch this, I absolutely loved it. The film has the appeal of the coast without the total grimes feeling of crime noir. I also thought the story does a good job of spending time in the two realms of FBI/Crime and Surfing without dummying the surfing down, it actually gives substance to characters, and background characters which really brings the film together. The mise en scene is what makes this movie legendary, waves are mesmerizing and letting nature do its own thing on camera is to me, what always allows film to look the best. It’s rare nowadays for movies, or cinematographers to “let-go” of control on the camera and let the subject speak for itself. Especially the ending, I think it works fantastically. Patrick Swayze, awesome. Actual Rating: 4.25 / 5.00
