4K UHD Review – Point Break (1991)

1991's "Point Break" is one of those films that either attracts unintentional laughter or lifelong fandom. The picture contains a special screen magic, with director Kathryn Bigelow trying to make something different in an oversaturated action movie marketplace, approaching the screenplay (by W. Peter Iliff) with a wonderful sincerity, aiming to transform a potentially wacky premise about cops on the hunt for bank-robbing surfers into a superbly adrenalized viewing experience, and one that's loaded with flavorful performances and spiritual attention to help ground the bizarre tale. It's a wild one that asks viewers to accept its craziness, to go along with all the plotting and characterization, with the reward being Bigelow's utter command of the genre, providing a hard-hitting, philosophy-spittin', cinematic ride of unusual temptation, sold with technical excellence.
