My Keanu Reeves appreciation period continues with director Kathryn Bigelow’s Point Break, a good action/adventure/thriller about a Rookie F.B.I. agent who goes undercover to catch suspected bank-robbing surfers. 

As a fan of both Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, their dynamic in this movie, coupled with all the ways the story is engaging and good in surprising ways, add up to why Bigelow’s film is memorable.

I suspect that even now – thirty-four years since it was released, Point Break still has one of the most memorable endings of any movie. How very wise of me to have watched this version instead of the unfortunate 2015 remake. 

If you’ve never seen Point Break and you’re curious, enjoy this early and notable Bigelow film, long before she delighted movie fans with The Hurt Locker (2008) and Zero Dark Thirty (2012).

Happy Film Loving,
