Remaking POINT BREAK sounded like a bad idea, but after watching the new trailer starring Edgar Ramirez and Luke Bracey the film may be worth watching just for the outrageous stunts that involves much more than surfing.
In the updated version of POINT BREAK, the story is very similar but with a different setting that reflects the popularity of extreme sports globally. It expands from the surfing world to extreme sports with big names like snowboarders Lucas DeBari, Ralph Backstrom, Mitch Toelderer, Mike Basich and Xavier De La Rue; motorcyclists Riley Harper and Oakley Lehman; wingsuit stunt pilots Jeb Corliss, Jon Devore, Julian Boulle, Noah Bahnson and Mike Swanson; and free climber Chris Sharma, among others performing the daring stunts themselves.
As with the original 1991 hit starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves, a young FBI agent (Bracey) infiltrates the world of extreme sports to uncover a group pulling off heists, not for personal gain, but against corporate America.
POINT BREAK opens December 25.
