Point Break

POINT BREAK (1991) - Apr. 3, 2011
An enjoyable action movie about a young FBI agent who goes undercover in the LA surfing scene to try to catch a group of professional bank robbers.  Though the film probably has more surfing action than actual action, it works.  It probably helps that Kathryn Bigelow does just as good of a job with the surfing stuff as with the action stuff (which is stellar, including a classic foot chase that ends with a moment that has been made unintentionally hilarious thanks to Hot Fuzz).  Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze are both quite good, as is the supporting cast (including a memorable John C. McGinley as the angry captain).  ***
