Director: Kathryn Bigelow
Point Break is a movie that requires the presence of multiple viewers. Its alternating tone of total absurdity with complete self-seriousness is ripe for parody - there has to be someone else in the room to glance at, so you can wonder "What the hell was that?"
As a totally disposable popcorn movie, Point Break runs entirely too long, shoehorning in endless sequences of guys who may or may not be Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze surfing. It feels like the kind of movie that film executives say, "Hey, surfing and skydiving are popular things, let's put them together in a movie!". By the time Keanu utters his amazingly portentous 'Vaya con dios', I had already checked out. This film is alternately a must-see and an inevitable disappointment.
