Every Patrick Swayze Movie Ranked Worst To Best

A wild action thriller that became a cult classic from cable and video, "Point Break" is a unique crime story of a gang of surfing bank robbers led by Swayze, with Keanu Reeves as the FBI agent itching to nail them. In the film, Swayze describes skydiving as "100% pure adrenaline," and while the movie doesn't exactly deliver that, it's still a fun and respectable action yarn.

Directed by Kathryn Bigelow, who became to first woman to win Best Director for "The Hurt Locker," "Break" has many of her trademarks as a filmmaker: A wild storyline, harsh violence, well-crafted action sequences, and unique characters.

"Point Break" is one of those films that has grown better with time, and has a sizable cult following today. Critical reaction was certainly better than "Road House," but similarly, you're advised not to take it too seriously.

The Hollywood Reporter noted, "While the critics may yammer, 'Point Break' delivers the thrills, spills and crunches its action-hungry audience demands," while Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader quipped, "We might as well be watching a blissed-out Bill and Ted caper." As if that's a bad thing.
