Point Break - 1991 - 7/10

Police thriller delivers the action in spades.
FBI rookie is transferred to Los Angeles, and is soon assigned to bank robbery division.
The best heist crew? Outfit known as the ex-Presidents. Numerous smash and grab, clean getaways.
Lab forensics soon zero in on residual evidence which points to the surfing scene.
Wait! You mean surfers could be organized enough to stage and execute a daylight robbery?
Narrative rocks along throughout with surf sequences, shootouts, car chases, and extreme sports.
This has aged fairly well (though the notion of bank robberies was over by the 1970’s).
AVOID the 2015 remake which has become a magnet for “worst ever” reviews.
