Who has seen the film Point Break?
It has the the best foot chase I have EVER SEEN in a movie.
As well as a group of bank robbers outfitted in what I can only describe as in a legendary fashion.
Also there are MANY other great things about the film.
A few things about the film disappointed me it SHOULD have been a noted classic but a bit too much unreality crept in.
Do you feel the same way?
I'm interested to see how others view this film.
It's an old film 2003 Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze.

Loved it. It's a classic in my book.
The shootout scene in True Detective - season 2 episode 4 - is quite possibly one of the most understated scenes to ever play as well. So gripping and realistic. |

It's one of my top 3 movies, the original not the remake. Perfect cast, Gary Busey was the right amount of crazy to bring Pappas alive, Keanu was at his best and Bodie Zaffa was another god played by Swayze. It had everything thing for me including a great soundtrack  |

Yes great film but 'Buried' remains still one of my favourite movie so far m, due to its intelligent way of making you focus from begining to the end with only one scene in all the movie.
I love huit-clos movie. It is where you can see the intelligence of storyline and perfect acting.
The last one I watched was 'American Son' absolutely loved it.
Loved all faces of racial American issues were portrayed. Especially how white people really struggle to put themselves into the shoes of non white people |

“Buried” is a brilliant film but also very sad. |

Without wishing to be unnecessarily pedantic, Point break was released in 1991 not 2003.
It was quite entertaining but I didn't think it was amazing.
It's interesting that it was a male-orientated action film directed by a woman.
I'm not sure if anybody has said this yet but in case they haven't...

It's interesting you mentioned about a shootout scene. I've watched a lot of those types of scenes over the years and the one where they raid the house in Point break for its chaotic nature and impact for me might be the best I've seen. (One of the agents getting his ass-kicked by a naked shower lady was brilliant) |

When one of the robbers started impersonating Nixon! |

When you say in your top 3 I understand. It's so good on so many levels. |

"At the top of my film list, as for the remake, why try and remake something that perfect first time ? Xx "
I note it's at the top of your list and it's that good in your eyes.

"Point break,an absolute classic! Good acting skills from Anthony keidis  "
Funny to see him turn up in the film. It was like Oh Red Hot Chilli Pepper guy. Then forgot that for the rest of the film he blended right in! |

The DVD I watched it on said 2003, my error. A female director who can pull off shootouts of such power. ALLOW me to be impressed! |

I notice his foot got fucked up, things were moving so fast I didn't even catch that. I thought an agent shot him I'll rewatch that scene. In a real fast moving situation not every T is crossed and i dotted. My estimation of that scene rises even higher. |

Big fan of the RHCP more so back then. But in general it’s a brilliant film |

"Sorry, but best footchase in any film is in Hot Fuzz.
"What's the matter Danny- never taken a short cut before?"
Have you ever fired your gun in the air and gone ahhhhhh ?"
What was it like being stabbed? |
