Peter Paul Kathryn Bigelow, Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves in his first major role. What else to say? A cult movie that inspired many other movies and its special atmosphere still comes through. It is still fresh and enjoyable.

nicktusk-95591 Point break is the quintessential bank robbery movie. Before this movie there were zero to none with films that had a xtreme sports angle to criminal activity. This film has paved the way for a lot of modern day movies and also crime sagas typically with four friends who are close and are also criminals. I first saw it on VHS like when I was 10 years old. This film is 27 years old but it's way ahead of its time. The story especially. It has every angle that now a days shows and movies have these days. Definitely a cult classic .

soranamicooper Brilliant young cop gets teamed up with brilliant but burnt out cynical old cop. Just the first in a series of cliches that make up this film. I wanted to switch off just a few minutes in but saw it through out of respect for the director, who went on to turn out Hurt Locker and Zero Dark 30, both excellent films. You would absolutely never guess this was also one of hers, though. The action scenes are generally tight - and if action were my thing I'd probably rate it more highly - but the depth of character, tension and drama that characterise the other two films of hers I've seen, not to mention the quality of acting, are in relatively short supply. Sure, it predates the others by 20 odd years, but if this was KB cutting her teeth, she's come a long way since.

shanec-57034 If you told me the plot of this movie I would laugh and pass, but after seeing the action, I love it! Bigelow does a great job of keeping the (at the time) cutting edge action scenes, flowing and engaging. Swayze doing his own sky diving scenes were amazing. If you are looking or an Oscar type flick, keep looking, if you are looking for a great action film of any time, look no further!
