In Los Angeles, California, a gang of bank robbers call themselves The Ex-Presidents. commit their crimes while wearing masks of ex-Presidents Reagan, Carter, Nixon, and Johnson. The F.B.I. believes that the members of the gang could be surfers, and send young Agent Johnny Utah undercover at the beach to mix with the surfers and gather information. Utah meets surfer Bodhi, and gets drawn into the lifestyle of his new friend.
Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves) is a Special Agent for the F.B.I. 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 wear masks of former Presidents Reagan, 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. The problem is, Utah couldn't surf to save his life. That, plus the two continuously being hassled by unpleasant and rough Agent Harp (John C. McGinley). With the help of Tyler (Lori Petty) a competent female surfer, Utah begins to gain the respect of local surfer Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) and his group. Utah forms a close bond with Bodhi, but the relationship between Utah and Bodhi becomes limited when Utah suspects that Bodhi and his group are The Ex-Presidents.
Just got finished watching it again and it is a great movie! For those of you who haven't seen it, it defines Keanu Reeves. Patrick Swayze plays a bad guy and he's great at it! Reeves plays an FBI agent in search of his first big bust and he ends up torn between the straight and narrow and the good life. It is Reeve's best movie, besides Speed.
This is one of those movies that would have you believe that surfing is a mystical endeavor, allowing one to heighten awareness and become closer to if not one with the godhead nature. Instead of the leisure sport of ski bums w/ surfboards don&#39;t work and hang at the beach. Which is cool, but that doesn&#39;t make it some ethereal vision-quest.<br/><br/>Lori Petty can always be counted on to irritate without doing any acting and this is no exception. I think she wants to be feisty, scrappy, empowering - those things. She&#39;s done much TV and it shows: she releases her emotions by staring at the camera. She has 3 modes: self-righteous indignation when she&#39;s wronged; self-righteous indignation when someone else is wronged; self-righteous indignation with a little girl voice when she&#39;s willing to have sex. All by herself she managed to ruin &quot;League of their own&quot;. Here, could there have been worse choice for a love interest?<br/><br/>The real shame is the plot &amp; script. Kathryn Bigelow is way better than this: K19, Near Dark, Strange Days - all brilliant. But she was involved w/ schlock-/ fluff-meister Cameron then and he wrote the script.<br/><br/>Overall this was intended to be a heart-pounding, blood-rushing, edge-o-ur-seat action fest. This is accomplished by having Reeves jump out of a plane without a parachute and catch up to the bad guy. Where they macho-talk about who will pull the ripcord until they&#39;re just a few-hundred feet over the ground. They survive of course.<br/><br/>It&#39;s about surfer bank robbers. FBI agent Busey has figured this out and says &quot;They&#39;re surfers. Look at the evidence: they rob in summer only.&quot;<br/><br/>The robbers are meticulous and perfect in execution, except for the last job where the leader changes the plan without telling the rest of the gang and of course this allows them to be shot/ caught.<br/><br/>But it doesn&#39;t even end there: There&#39;s the no-parachute scene about; then Reeves tracks his man all over; then there&#39;s a confrontation where he lets him go to die in some big weather.
Director Kathryn Bigelow is one of the new-style action wizards who’ve never quite mastered the nuts and bolts of telling a story.
Tapping the Source (1984), a novel by Kem Nunn, provided the inspiration for Point Break. It&#39;s called &quot;Hundreds of Tears&quot; by Sheryl Crow. Yes. There&#39;s likely no way a surfer as experienced as Bodhi could survive it. Bodhi even says earlier in the film when he describes the storm at Bell&#39;s Beach and how big the waves will be that surfing the break will be the &quot;ultimate price&quot;. Bodhi had basically wished to die in a glorious manner and he did.
