**_The fast and the furious on the beaches of Southern California_** A young FBI agent (Keanu Reeves) is sent by his superior (Gary Busey) to investigate a surfer gang to find out if they’re a notorious group of bank robbers.

**Score: 8/10 — A Pure, Unadulterated Shot of 90s Action Heaven** Some films are not meant to be dissected. They are meant to be experienced... felt in the gut, remembered in the quotable lines, and cherished for their sheer, unapologetic commitment to being exactly what they are. *Point Break* is such a film. A high octane, sun drenched, adrenaline fueled blast of pure cinematic joy, it is a movie that knows exac…
