What to Know

Critics Consensus

Loaded with dazzling action but bereft of purpose, the Point Break remake will be remembered as the first film to make audiences pine for the simultaneous presences of Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey.

While the stunts are impressive, they lack the impact needed to make Point Break memorable - to make it more than just a misguided mimicry. It ends up being just that. Go to Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com 08/16/2016

Blake- N @RT32589154 3d I went into the 2015 remake of *Point Break* hoping for a fresh take on a cult classic, but what I got instead was a hollow, overproduced mess. The original had charisma, tension, and memorable characters. This version strips all of that away and replaces it with lifeless performances and extreme sports sequences that feel more like a highlight reel than an actual story. The characters are especially disappointing—there’s no chemistry, no depth, and no reason to care about anyone on screen. Johnny Utah feels bland, and Bodhi lacks the presence and philosophy that made him compelling in the original. The dialogue is forgettable, and the plot is barely held together by a series of increasingly ridiculous stunts. Visually, it’s polished, but that’s about the only positive. Style completely outweighs substance here. Overall, it’s a pointless remake that fails to justify its existence. 1/10. See more shane o @Shanes_DVD_Shack Feb 3 The motivation of the bad guys in the movie made little to no sense and the movie as a whole basically made no sense . There were some really cool action scenes but it was let down by bad plot , bad acting and awful script See more Art E @RT73089530 Dec 2 Is pure masculine movie, for mens that testosterone flows in the body See more kokistrk 6 @kokistrk Oct 26 Las acrobacias eran impresionantes, pero la historia y el fin no conectaron See more Jeff B @RT54874440 Jul 29 I would give it zero stars if possible. What were they thinking? Watch the original, it's still a great film in 2025. Don't f*ck with the classics if you're going to make garbage like this.
