The original, 1991 Point Break – starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, and directed by Kathryn Bigelow – has developed somewhat of a cult following since it was released.
This Point Break remake is beautiful to look at and exciting in all the right places, but a decent plot and some well-drawn characters would have helped...
This movie preceded director Espinosa's first US foray Safe House. The Denzel Washington actioner was perfectly serviceable but no match for this smart Swedish thriller.
