Point Break
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007
In what can now safely be regarded as one of the more generation-defining cinematic moments of the nineties.
Point Break serves as not just a credible well-paced action thriller spectacle, but also as a voice for advocates of the adrenalin rush.
The movie’s sleeper popularity at the time would no doubt have helped issue in a new generation of ‘X’ sports for a new generation, as hungry sponsors leapt at a new market.
Johnny Utah (Reeves) is a Special Agent for the FBI.
Utah gets partnered with Angelo Pappas (Gary Busey) an experienced agent who is more than committed to his work.
The two are asked to investigate the number of robberies committed by a group called the Ex-Presidents, who wears masks of Presidents Reagen, Nixon, Carter and Johnson for their robberies.
Pappas has a theory that the Ex-Presidents are a group of surfers, and asks for Utah to go undercover as a surfer.
