Point Break
FILM 10.20PM, BBC3
FBI agent Keanu Reeves infiltrates Patrick Swayze’s gang of bank-robbing surfers and is seduced by his new supercharged lifestyle. The story veers from the inane to the insane, but that hardly matters, because the main aim here is simply to keep moving. The long chase sequence and the sky-diving stunts in particular are both breathless and breathtaking and, throughout, director Kathryn Bigelow takes absolutely no prisoners in her pursuit of thrills and spills. The result is a hugely enjoyable buddy movie with a good line in tongue-in-cheek humour. ★★★★
