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.

Another addition to the endless list of remakes, Point Break merely leaves us bemoaning the dearth of original ideas in Hollywood nowadays.

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

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.

The film and its title push us to use a superb reference (BBC’s Black Adder) for a superbly dull film. We have this to say – Point Break is like a broken pencil. It’s pointless.

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.
