Point Break (1991)

Vaya con Dios

Action cinema designed to entertain, no doubt. But of excellent invoice! A very original script, in a fast-paced movie that departs from the usual canons of the genre. A film that can be considered a testimony of an era, and a precursor to aesthetics and way of life based on extreme sports and activities. All seasoned with a particular philosophy of the life of some very particular bank robbers that ends up attracting the very cop played by Keanu Reeves.

Kathryn Bigelow's directorial debut, James Cameron's hand shows in the action scenes. The film manages to attract the attention of the viewer at all times, and does not abuse special effects and various explosions like so many others to achieve it. It has very good moments of action, without any doubt. But the original and very well developed plot plot has enough appeal to keep our attention. Unstoppable the delirious scenes of the robberies with the band members disguised as presidents. Good work of the entire repertoire, which would highlight the magnificent interpretation made by veteran Gary Busey of the tanned policeman in a thousand battles, and his peculiar relationship with the brilliant rookie Reeves. Patrick Swayze is perfect in a custom-made surfer guru role. And with the Red Hot Chili Peppers making extras one can imagine where the soundtrack shots go, powerful rock for addicts to strong emotions.

Entertainment of the good, a small classic of action cinema. Good waves!
