Point Break B

“Point Break” is a visually delirious but intellectually frustrating thriller about a band of Zen-spouting surfers.

Similarly to her strategy in the policier thrille “Blue Steel,” Kathryn Bigelow imposes technical virtuosity on a routine story, the peculiar complicity between a law officer (Keanu Reeves) and a seductive criminal (Patrick Swayze).

“Point Break” reaffirms Bigelow's talent as a director of fast-paced, high-adrenaline actioners, burdened with absurd narratives and less than credible dialogue.
