The original Point Break starred Keanu Reeves as an F.B.I. Agent infiltrating a group of surfers/bank robbers led by Patrick Swayze that wore masks of Presidents in their heists. It doesn’t really hold up if you watch it today but it has its charm. Well, Warner Bros said it’s time for a remake. So here is the trailer for the new Point Break remake which exchanges surfers for extreme sports enthusiasts. Johnny Utah will now be played by Luke Bracey and Bodhi will be played by Edgar Ramirez, the parks originally played by Keanu and Swayze respectively.
It’s easy to cast this aside as some worthless remake. I was ready to cut it into pieces but watching the trailer, it’s actually not terrible. Ramirez looks like a good charismatic personality to take up the role of Bodhi so it may be watchable. Plus, there’s still some surfing along with plane diving, cliff diving, parachuting, bike stunts, and that thing where you put on a squirrel suit and glide.
