Keanu Reeves does his best to play a broody FBI agent that goes undercover to try a nab a gang of notorious bank robbers that may or may not be surfers. Elevated by some beautifully photographed surf scenes and perfect pacing, Point Break doesn't speak to the viewer like most action films like this would. Instead it tries to get into the minds of why folks like this do the things they do...still, the film isn't without it's numerous 80's & 90's action movie clichés and mind-numbing dialogue.
It could have heavily benefited from going in the direction I suspect Bigelow was striving for but was held back from the studio and instead comes off as silly action flick with a few hints of being something more.

Just seeing the words 'Point Break' written makes me think of Hot Fuzz, and I get a warm chuckle. :doc:
Throughout most of the film I was thinking of all the things "Hot Fuzz" parodied.
I couldn't take it seriously at all. XD
Made it a bit difficult to actually Nut without poking too much fun.
