I guess it's Kathryn Bigelow day!
Point Break is probably the closest thing to an adrenaline junkie movie I've seen. When the tagline is "100% Adrenaline," they aren't joking! Surfing, skydiving, and bank robbing all in the same film! Patrick Swayze plays it cool as usual, while Keanu Reeves gives a highly entertaining (it's Keanu Reeves!) performance as an undercover F-B-I AGENT. This is a must see film. The action and style are heightened to unbelievable (possibly unprecedented?) levels! Despite being released during the High Eighties, I would argue that this is one of the earliest distinctly 90s movies. Bigelow's Point Break is an action masterpiece, especially compared with the other films of hers I have seen, Strange Days (1995) and Near Dark (1987).
8/10
