- Write a review of this movie.
Point Break was a very good action movie. It meets all the conventions that make an action movie, the police were involved, there was a love interest and the criminals who were being chased. The movie was very unpredictable, you never knew what was going to happen next and it kept the viewer on their feet. There were just enough explosions and battle scenes and they did not overpower the whole story. The director captured every angle of the movie making the viewer see the action from all different angles. The acting was done very well except for one actor who played Johnny Utah. He did not have much expression and it was very hard to take him seriously but overall it was good acting. I recommend this movie to anyone who loves action movies and would like a story line to the movie and does not only want to see explosions. I also recommend this movie to those who love a good story line to a movie and the movie is not predicable.
