Katheryn Bigelow’s 1991 action classic Point Break had already been loosely remade to great effect with The Fast and the Furious, so there was really no need for an official retread to exist. It happened, though, and even the most forgiving of genre aficionados were left wondering why one of the all-time greats was allowed to be desecrated in such banal fashion.
Luke Bracey and Édgar Ramírez are most definitely not Keanu Reeves and Johnny Utah, with the 2015 dynamic between Johnny Utah and Bodhi borderline nightmarish in how wooden and forced it feels. Admittedly, a couple of the stunt sequences are undeniably impressive, but that’s not really worth much when everything else is such a colossal letdown.
