There‘s a foot chase through the streets, yards, alleys and living rooms of Santa Monica; two skydiving seâ€" quences with virtuoso photograâ€" phy, powerful chemistry between the good and evil characters, and an ominous, brooding score by Mark Isham that underlines the mood. The plot of Point Break, summarized, _ invites _ parody (rookie agent goes undercover as surfer to catch bank robbers). The result is surprisingly effecâ€" tive. Bigelow is an interesting direcâ€" tor for this material. She is interâ€" ested in the ways her characters live dangerously for philosophical reasons. They aren‘t men of action, but men of thought who choose action as a way of exâ€" pressing their beliefs. That adds an intriguing element to their characters, and makes the final confrontation in this movie as meaningful as it can be, given the admittedly preposterous nature of the material. Point Break is not the kind of movie where we should spend a lot of time analyzing the motives of the characters. Once Johnny Utah realizes, for example, that Bodhi knows he‘s an FBI agent â€" should he really go skydiving with him, and let Bodhi pack the chute? Such questions are fruitâ€" less, because the movie has Utah trapped in Bodhi‘s spell, in which everything â€" freefalling, surfing, robbing banks â€" is part of catchâ€" ing the wave of life, looking for that endless ride. a lonely, stormâ€"swept beach in Australia.
