First off, you should know that I did love the original version of this film. Point Break came out in 1991 and starred Patrick Swayze as the leader of a gang of surfer/criminals and Keanu Reeves as a young FBI agent who infiltrates the gang. If you saw it, you'll remember two scenes: the bank robbery and the crazy leap from the airplane. For this update, Luke Bracey plays Keanu Reeves...sorry, that's Johnny Utah, and Edgar Ramirez plays Bodhi/Swayze. The new film also used every extreme-sports dude on the planet as stunt men and, while there is apparently still some surfing (and thievery), it looks like we'll get everything from rock climbing to BASE jumping thrown in for good measure. Coming on Christmas Day, 2015.
