POINT BREAK (2015)

September 05, 2016 by Jacob Nelson in 2015, 2, ACTION, CRIME, P, SPORTS

9/5/2016 - Point Break (2015) - 2+/10

Essentially, they sacrificed the semblance of a story, characters, or dramatic arcs in exchange to make an extreme sports commercial. Perhaps we all could have let that go, but they strangely sucked all the excitement and fun from those scenes too. This is so flat and lifeless, I don't even feel like railing against it. That might be more work than writing that script would have been.

The story, plot, characters, and acting are all laughable. It amazingly makes the original seem brilliant by comparison. It has little to no point and makes you question the sanity of anyone who would partake in this film sober.

Also, "polyathlete" seems to be something they made up for this film. If you can make up words, why can't you make a decent action film?
