So I recently watched Point Break (2015) and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...
Thrill-seeking criminals perform a series of daredevil stunts to steal money and gems, only to give it away to the poor and less fortunate. Training for a job with the FBI, young recruit Johnny Utah (played by Luke Bracey) suspects that only extreme athletes could pull off these heists. Utilizing his own special skills, Utah infiltrates the gang of thieves after befriending their charismatic leader, Bodhi (played by Edgar Ramirez). As Johnny experiences the rush of their lifestyle, his superiors fear that his loyalties are being tested.
This has to be one of the worst films ever made in the history of film. The 1991 original film may not have been a great film in it's own, but it at least had a fun storyline with some great actors and performances (i.e. Keanu Reeves, Gary Busey and Patrick Swayze). This film is basically an advertisement for extreme sports and how "extreme" they are. It has no cohesive story, no likable characters and it doesn't do the original film any justice whatsoever. Luke Bracey has to be one of the worst actors working in Hollywood today because everything he is in, he gives a wooden performance with the same monotone voice plus he looks so lost in every scene and to sum everything up HE CAN"T ACT and he was poor choice for the role of Johnny Utah. Edgar Ramirez had a tough job in filling the shoes of Patrick Swayze, but he does a great job with what little he is given. Another bright spot was Ray Winstone he does the job because it's a paycheck and you can tell that even he wanted to laugh at the horrible dialogue he was given, but even those aren't good enough for the film to be even remotely good. The story tries to build upon some things that were mentioned in the original film and basing a story around that seems like a great idea, but it just isn't executed well and it's just a 2 hour movie with nothing but stunts, stunts and even more stunts with little or no character development and no story to base the film on. Overall this is easily one the worst films of the year and maybe one one of the worst films of the decade. I give Point Break (2015) a 0 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Point Break (2015), what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
