Point Break

It's not just presidents who are bleached of colour. Even thieves must center their wickedness on something as concrete as concern for the earth.

The only thing that is mildly exciting about the film is a wing suit stunt where cameras soar along with the bat-like divers over a huge canyon.

The script is basically an attempt to stitch together incredible feats; the characters have nothing to show in terms of depth, other than their ability to pull off the monumental.

The fact that the movie runs out of plot long before it runs out of stunts to show off, makes Point Break a remake that really ought not to have been made. But if adrenaline is your heroin, do yourself a favour and go to a theatre. This would be really pointless to see on a small screen.

Point Break comes across as a string of admittedly amazing action sequences and sports feats with the rest of the film haphazardly built up around it. The logic of going base jumping and snowboarding to combat climate change is bizarre. One scene will remind you of Fight Club. Another, of The Beach. Ray Winstone, who plays a grizzled agent, could have deserved more screen time. If you bother to watch it at all, treat it like a showreel for extreme sports, as it's pretty unengaging from almost every other angle.

By the end of this film, you can be assured that you will have a few more 'things to do' on your bucket list.
