Point Break





Cast: Édgar Ramírez(Bodhi), Luke Bracey(Johnny), Ray Winstone(Pappas), Teresa Palmer(Samsara), Matias Varela(Grommet),Clemens Schick(Roach), Tobias Santelmann(Chowder) and Delroy Lindo(FBI Instructor)
Director: Ericson Core
Genre: Sport, Adventure, Crime, Action




Haven't watched the original. Nevertheless, i still enjoyed watching this film.

PS: Watch it for the adventure sports and not for the story



You may look forward to:
  • Adrenalin rush all through the film, it is built for the men. Watch various kinds of adventure sports in one movie with eye catching cinematography, breathtaking locations and amazing direction. This is a worthwhile watch in theatres, in big screens
  • The main leads of the film Édgar Ramírez and Luke Bracey did quite a good job, in putting everything together, although unsure of the stunts performed by body doubles or themselves






What you can sleep over:
  • Rest of the cast viz; Teresa Palmer, Matias Varela,Clemens Schick, Tobias Santelmann, Delroy Lindo and Ray Winstone had brief roles, except for Matias Varela who has screen presence until the very end
  • Yes, this movie will remind you of the Bollywood's 'Dhoom' series, few uncanny similarities in bits and parts




The dampeners you should be aware of:

What pulls down the rating of the film is the storyline. Script is not strong enough. Movies like these should bring in more energy into your soul, that of which will push you to go out and perform some adventure sport. Blame to the script, some are beyond belief, some never made any sense. All put together hardly creates any impact. The real punch is largely missing





My Rating: 3/5

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
