Watch Point Break For Free

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Keanu Reeves coming off of his My Own Private Idaho performance. He shows on this movie what he's going to become in the future. This is his action movie coming out party, and it's fantastic! Classic.

'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

Loved this movie from the day i first watched it -Inspired me to just to live your life the way you want. This is essentially the journey that Utah takes in this movie. Bodhi and the gang are not cardboard cutout baddies, they are actual the kind of guys you wanna hang with ( for the most part!) Katheryn Bigelow brought both a slightly mocking, but also a great sensitivity to the relationships in this movie, that the turd of a remake completely missed.Lori Petty also was brilliant as the no BS surf girl. who Keanu falls for (literally!). But of course, it was Patrick Swazye, who stole this movie with his brilliant portrayal of the surf guru Bodhi - He was the spiritual center of the gang, and even though he lost his way at the end - He still had some honour. Contrast that with the stiff at the FBI ( With the notable exception of the hilarious Angelo Pappas ( Gary Busey y'all!!),and you can see why Utah was conflicted - All in all a great action film, that has some real depth, and great (Corona accompanied) rewatch value.

I think the best part of this movie is after Utah(Keanu Reaves) discovered who the bank robbers were. During his undercover mission in which he tried to get closer to some surfers in order to get some information, he learned how the leader of the bank robbers(Patrick Swayze) thought. Actually, he could have killed him because he had a lot of chances to do it. However, he didn't dare do it because he spent time with the bank robbers and felt sympathy towards the leader. For example(spoiler) in the final scene where he succeeds in putting handcuffs on him but then unlocks it and lets him go into the sea to surf one last wave and kill himself in nature instead of letting him get arrested. I like this story, however, what I don't like was his position. As far as he is a police officer, he has to save people but in one scene they robbed a bank with him, he was just standing and doing nothing. He could have done something. When some people were injured by them, he should have taken action. Therefore, I think it's good that in the last scene of this movie, he throws his police ID toward the shore.
