It just is stunning to look at because that\u2019s her eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roger Ebert<\/strong> was one of the few critics at the time who praised <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rogerebert.com\/reviews\/point-break-1991\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Point Break<\/em>, noting in his three-and-a-half star review<\/a> that \u201cBigelow is an interesting director for this material. She is interested in the ways her characters live dangerously for philosophical reasons. They aren\u2019t men of action, but men of thought who choose action as a way of expressing their beliefs. That adds an intriguing element to their characters, and makes the final confrontation in this movie as meaningful as it can be, given the admittedly preposterous nature of the material.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Why \u2018Point Break\u2019 Is an Action Classic \u2013 and 1 of the Best Bromance Movies of All Time<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4407521\" style=\"width: 653px;\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:156.71428571429%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4407521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"Keanu Reeves in Point Break\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=100&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 100w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=200&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=300&amp;quality=70&amp;strip=all 300w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=400&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 400w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=500&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 500w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=600&amp;quality=47&amp;strip=all 600w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=700&amp;quality=62&amp;strip=all 700w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=800&amp;quality=70&amp;strip=all 800w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=900&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 900w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/point-break-2.jpg?w=1400&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) calc(100vw - 6em), (max-width: 1000px) 80vw, 1000px\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n Keanu Reeves in Point Break.<\/span> <span class=\"credit\">20th Century Fox Film Corp.

While it\u2019s true the film has a ridiculous story, it commits to it. There\u2019s no irony here, and Bigelow takes both of her leads seriously. Bohdi really does believe in a surfing paradise that\u2019s just beyond his reach, and you sympathize with his illegal efforts to get there.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/5-near-perfect-1990s-movies-you-have-to-stream-now\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=400%2C225&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=200%2C113&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=300%2C169&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 300w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=400%2C225&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 400w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=600%2C338&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 600w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=800%2C450&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 800w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=900%2C506&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 900w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=1000%2C563&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=1200%2C675&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/reservoir-dogs-1992.jpg?crop=0px%2C27px%2C1642px%2C930px&amp;resize=1600%2C900&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 400px, (max-width: 770px) calc(100vw - 6em), 200px\" alt=\"Steve Buscemi and Christopher Penn in Reservoir Dogs\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/5-near-perfect-1990s-movies-you-have-to-stream-now\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">5 Near-Perfect 1990s Movies You Have to Stream Now<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tThe \u201990s were a great decade for cinema, as blockbusters coexisted with films from all genres while expanding the reach of movie theaters. It was good while it lasted, but the movies that made the decade worthwhile are still fun to watch over 30 years later. Watch With Us has selected five near-perfect 1990s movies [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>If Bohdi is less a villain and more of a complicated antagonist, Johnny, too, isn\u2019t your standard action hero. He certainly starts like that, and the film pokes fun at his cookie-cutter appearance and all-American disposition. But by the end of the film, Johnny\u2019s been transformed by his time with Bodhi. He believes less in the black-and-white viewpoint of his law-and-order profession and understands what drives Bodhi. Their bromance frees them to understand each other and themselves, allowing them to attain what they\u2019ve always wanted.<\/p>\n<p>On a more basic level, <em>Point Break<\/em> is just pure fun, with stunts that still make your jaw drop and great cinematography that really captures the salt air and sandy beaches of early \u201890s L.A. It\u2019s one of the rare action flicks that appeals to the body and soul, which is why it\u2019s lasted all this time and will continue to remain beloved and relevant for at least another 35 years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/this-90s-action-classic-just-turned-35-and-its-free-to-stream-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1991 was a pivotal year for entertainment.
