Point Break Reviews

Movie Reviews

• this remake offers nothing but the absurdity, along with a handful of impressive stunt sequences that are both its reason for being and a complete distraction from what little story is happening here

  by Alonso Duralde [The Wrap ]

• the new Point Break looks great but lacks the cult-hit original's charisma and crescendo. And existentially, it never quite gets lost enough to be found

  by Brad Wheeler [Globe and Mail ]

• the makers were clearly paying attention to the smaller details. But somehow, they missed all the big things that made the first "Point Break" a memorable escapist film of its time

  by Peter Hartlaub [San Francisco Chronicle ]

• that set piece may have seemed like a good idea on paper. On the big screen, as with the rest of the movie, action just isn't enough

  by Stephanie Merry [Washington Post ]

• tedious and overblown

  by Noel Murray [LA Times ]

• Point Break is so infatuated with the beauty of the wild that it loses any sense of excitement. The movie doesn't work as a thriller. It's neither tense nor suspenseful

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• can't hold a meatball sandwich to its source material. Director Ericson Core's remake has some stunning visuals, but is otherwise as wooden as Keanu Reeves' acting in the original

  Review rate : C- by Adam Graham [Detroit News ]
