This is a nice remake of the original film with Keanu Reeves. What to expect: great action sequences and extreme sports (moto-cross, rock-climbing, surf and many other). I very much enjoyed the novelty in the adaptation of the old story to the new one. The connection between the characters is a bit better than the one in the old movie; at least it is more clear to see.
If you like action and movies with extreme sports and great stunts, then this is going to be a ride. Don't expect much more than that though...acting is average and the story, yep you know it, already. Nevertheless, this recommended for the fans! 8/10

If you like those 3 or 5 minute GoPro or Red Bull videos of people doing extreme sports then you will certainly like most of the movie as a lot of it is exactly that - and to be sure, those moments were pretty cool to watch and very well done. Unfortunately, in between all of those moments is a pretty boring plot line with characters that you never really care about.If you like mindless action (nothing wrong with that) then you will probably like this movie - although most of the "action" is extreme sports, not really guns.Apparently I have to write at least ten lines of text, but honestly there isn't much more to say about the movie!
'Sentiment: Negative âšī¸'
I already didn't have a high opinion of the movie before even starting watching it and that's because I don't really like remakes unless they are much better. But after watching it I was surprised it wasn't actually a complete copy of the 1991 Point Break. The story is different in many points but unfortunately it isn't better. The good thing about the movie are the stunts and the nature shots. But it was just not enough to make it a good movie. It's an average movie with special effects that could have been much better when you see the budget they had. The acting was just okay without being great. It's just the story that was lousy written. And that's the most important thing for any movie. If you don't have a good script you don't get a good movie. That's a fact.
