Point Break is a 1991 action film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Keanu Reeves, Patrick Swayze and Gary Busey. The title refers to the surfing term point break.

The film was a box office success upon its release, and it has since gathered a cult following. The film also contains notable celebrity cameos including Red Hot Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis.

Post Re: Point Break
I wish straight-up action flicks like this were still made. The foot chase between Bodie and Utah was pretty great, especially the drop-kicked pit bull. Sure, the acting was a bit hammy between Reeves and Busey, but action movies only require a certain level of believability, and they both pulled that off.

I guess it can be faulted for ushering in the era of "extreme" action movies, but who cares. This is one of those movies that brightens up a boring Sunday afternoon. Too bad Kathryn Bigelow's career was mostly killed with K-19 The Widowmaker.

B+.
