But that’s all this Point Break has going for it.Īs is typical of a remake there have been changes to the original story: whereas the original film had characters that were committing crimes to fund their adrenalin-filled hedonisitc lifestyle, Core’s version has the bad guys become some sort of moral crusaders, committing crimes Robin Hood style and giving away their loot to those less fortunate. Which means – for the audience – we get some incredible looking action/extreme sports sequences. However Ericson Core’s version of the film also introduces the concept of the Osaki 8: eight extreme sports challenges that no-one, apart from this film’s villains of course, have ever completed. Taking its cue from Kathryn Bigelow’s original movie, this remake of Point Breakonce again tells the story of Johnny Utah (Bracey), a young FBI agent who infiltrates a cunning team of thrill-seeking elite athletes – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Ramirez) – who are suspected of carrying out a spate of crimes in extremely unusual ways… Now I’m not that adverse to remakes and reboots as some and, if I’m honest, the 1991 version of Point Break is not as special to me as it is to others – in fact Bigelow’s film never really gelled with me, so I approached this redux with a really open mind.
