Plot

motorbikes
. The run ends with a jump onto a lone stone column, where Jeff overshoots the landing and falls to his death.

Seven years later, Utah is an

FBI agent candidate. He attends a briefing on a skyscraper heist, in which the criminals stole diamonds, escaping by parachute, in Mumbai. A similar heist happens over Mexico where the criminals unload millions of dollars in bills, then disappear into the Cave of Swallows. Utah's research concludes that they were done by the same men, who are attempting to complete the Ozaki 8, a list of eight extreme ordeals to honor the forces of nature. They have already completed three, and Utah predicts they'll attempt the fourth on a rare sea wave phenomenon in France. After presenting his analysis, Utah is sent undercover to France under a field agent named Pappas (Ray Winstone
). They reach France and Utah gets help from others to surf the tall tube wave.

As he goes in, there is already another surfer riding the wave, leaving Utah unstable. Utah gets sucked into the wave and faints, but the other surfer bails and rescues Utah. He wakes aboard a yacht with the surfer, Bodhi (

wingsuit
flying through "The Life of Wind" cliffs. The four succeed in their attempt and spend some time together with Samsara. The next day, they climb the snow peaks for the sixth ordeal, snowboarding down a steep mountain of snow. They reach their spot, but Utah decides to extend his line, so the others follow him. Chowder slips and falls to his death, and Utah becomes depressed about it.

After a party, Samsara explains that she and Bodhi both knew Ono Ozaki when they were young, that her parents died in an avalanche accident and Ozaki gave her a home after. She explains further that Ozaki actually completed his third ordeal, despite what was widely believed. He did not die attempting the ordeal, but was actually killed by a whaling ship crashing into his boat while he was trying to save humpback whales. On his boat, a young boy, Bodhi, decided not to tell the truth of his story but to finish what Ozaki started.

Next they travel to a gold mine where Bodhi detonates explosives Grommet and Roach planted. After blowing his cover, Utah chases Bodhi, managing to trip his bike. Bodhi escapes because Utah cannot stand up after the crash. The FBI freezes Bodhi's sponsors' assets; Bodhi plans to rob a nearby Italian bank on a mountain top. Utah and the police intercept the group, resulting in a crossfire that kills Roach. As the group flees, Utah chases and shoots one of them to death, who is revealed to be Samsara and not Bodhi.

Utah finds the location of the next ordeal:

Pacific
facing another giant wave. As Utah tries to get Bodhi to come back with him and pay for his crimes, he eventually lets Bodhi attempt to surf it, both knowing that he will not come back. The wave engulfs Bodhi, killing him. Utah begins going through his own ordeals, unclear whether he is still an FBI agent.

Cast

Édgar Ramírez and Luke Bracey portray the two main characters of the film.

Production

Development

Point Break is an American-German-Chinese co-production.

Studio Babelsberg co-produced and oversaw production services for the film.[12] A script for the remake had been lying around for years,[9] but it was not until Ericson Core pitched his idea to Warner Bros. that the film actually got off the ground.[9] However, Core's idea for the film was significantly different than the script. His concept was much more of a big tentpole movie, with scenes that defy the laws of physics.[9]

In 2011, it was announced that a remake of Point Break was being developed by Alcon Entertainment and Warner Bros. The screenplay was being written by Kurt Wimmer, screenwriter of the 2012 Total Recall remake. Wimmer co-produced with Broderick Johnson, Andrew Kosove, John Baldecchi, and Chris Taylor.[13] Ericson Core, cinematographer of The Fast and the Furious (2001), directed.[14] The film received funds of €3.6 million, from the German Federal Film Fund (DFFF).[15]

Casting

Luke Bracey portrayed the role previously played by Keanu Reeves.[16][17] Ray Winstone took on the role played by Gary Busey in the original.[18] Gerard Butler was initially in negotiations to play Bodhi, the role Patrick Swayze created, but negotiations fell through.[19] By mid-May 2014, Édgar Ramírez was in talks to play Bodhi, and was later cast.[20]

James LeGros and BoJesse Christopher, two of the actors who played Ex-Presidents in the 1991 film, were cast as FBI directors.[21]

Filming and stunts

surfers, high-speed motocross riders and wingsuit pilots in the world and filmed them, essentially, as actors.[9]

The surfing scene was shot at Teahupoʻo in Tahiti (pictured).

Surf sequence

Since surfing was central to the first movie, the filmmakers wanted to include it again, but at a higher level.[22] Core and his team looked all over the world to try to find out where waves were going to hit, and when, before finally settling on Teahupoʻo in Tahiti.[7][22] However, shooting the scene proved to be challenging since enormous, surfable waves are rare and unpredictable. A set of crew first went to Jaws, a surf break in Maui, months before principal photography began on the film.[22] The team had to wait several days in Teahupoʻo for the waves to swell.[7] Luckily, enormous swells arrived. The crew ran nine cameras in the water, on cliffs and on helicopters to capture the action in January 2014.[22] Laird Hamilton, a pioneering big-wave surfer, who also played a minor role in the film, contributed his skills to the shoot.[22] Additionally, Ian Walsh, a surfer from Maui, Billy Kemper, Makua Rothman, and Ahani Tsondru, served as stunt doubles.[25]

Australian surfer Laurie Towner, who was hired as the stunt double for lead character Johnny Utah, broke his jaw and suffered other injuries during stunt surfing in Teahupoʻo for the film, in mid-September 2014.[26]

The wingsuit flying and BASE jumping sequence was filmed at Walenstadt in Switzerland.
Additional filming also took place in Jungfrau in the Swiss Alps.

Wingsuit sequence

The wingsuit flying sequence which is notably the most dangerous stunt in the film was filmed in Walenstadt, Switzerland and required five stuntmen (including the cameraman) flying in formation, while all weaved through narrow mountain passes, one of which is called "The Crack", all at a speed of over 145 miles per hour (233 km/h).[7] The production canceled planned flights on a number of days because of poor weather conditions, eventually completing it only after two weeks in August 2014.[7][25] Core brought in Jeb Corliss, a professional sky diver, to help coordinate the scene and handpick wingsuit athletes to perform the stunt.[22] Corliss and his team picked the best wingsuit pilots in the world, who have all made over 17,000 sky dives and have had 20 years of experience, including one thousand BASE jumps and thousands of wingsuit jumps each, to perform the jump.[9] Corliss himself was going to be one of the fliers, but was not able to be, because he was recovering from a knee surgery after he tore his anterior cruciate ligament prior to the filming, while testing a suit.[27] The five fliers includes two times World Wingsuit League champion and four times Guinness World Records holder Jhonathan Florez (cameraman, who died in July 2015),[27] Red Bull Air Force former manager Jon DeVore (portrayed Utah), who previously worked on the wingsuit sequence for Transformers: Dark of the Moon, and served as the aerial coordinator,[9] Mike Swanson (Bodhi), Julian Boulle (Grommet), Noah Bahnson (Roach), and James Boole.[25] DeVore knew that the sequence was going to be difficult to enact, especially in supertight, choreographed formations. Corliss himself was familiar with the place since he made a jump in 2011 from a peak just outside the Swiss town. A video of the jump titled "Grinding the Crack" uploaded to YouTube has been watched over 30 million times.[9]

However, performing such a sequence proved to be very dangerous. If one person crashes with the other, it could lead to the disproportion of the flight pattern and subsequently could result in death.

Red camera used in the flights weighed 15 pounds (6,8 kg), enough to significantly alter the way pilots normally flew.[9] The wingsuiters made over 60 jumps in the course of two weeks to get all the shots.[9][22][29] Corliss called it the most dangerous stunt that has ever been filmed for a movie.[29]

Aiguille de la Grande Sassière in France, where the snowboarding scene was filmed.
Caineville, Utah, where the motocross scene was filmed.

Snowboarding sequence

For the snowboarding scene, which was shot in the Italian side of Aiguille de la Grande Sassière in Aosta Valley, professional snowboarders Xavier de Le Rue and Jeremy Jones,[22] along with Ralph Backstrom and Mike Basich, were hired to play stunt doubles.[29] There were daily avalanche checks during the shoot, and a significant amount of time was spent sitting and waiting for the right conditions to film. For this scene, Core and members of his crew roped down cliffs to record the snowboarders from the best possible angles. At some point, Core had to give Xavier the camera and he had to shoot other people.[22] He admitted that because Rue and Jones were so fast, few could keep up with them.[22] During filming a particular sequence, a Class 4 avalanche was triggered.[29]

Rock climbing sequence

Angel Falls in Venezuela, where the free climbing scene was shot. Climbing took place on sites both beside the falls and above the rim.

For the

Linh Nguyen, a longtime Southern California climber and former climbing consultant to a TV sports series, who Core described as his "oldest friend", as the Climbing Unit Supervisor. That site was near an overhanging 100-foot boulder that the longtime climber-rigger Dave Schultz had picked out during scouting, as an ideal site for close-up "studio" climbing shots. Filming also took place on the wall beside the waterfall.[30] Chris Sharma served as a stunt double for Johnny Utah,[29] whereas Teresa Palmer was filmed in a climbing scene separately in the Alps.[30] Dani Andrada of Spain played the stunt double for Bodhi, and climber-filmmaker Mike Call was second-unit cameraman. Peter Croft, a well-known Canadian climber and soloist, was hired as a backup climber and a stunt rigger, and to help lend credibility to the free-soloing scenes. He and Nguyen read the script together, taking notes and suggesting changes in dialogue. Others in the unit were Schultz (head rigger), Aaron Walters, Brooke Sandahl, Alexander Magerl and Ralf Haeger of Germany, Emiliyan Kolevski of Bulgaria, and Alberto Roha and other climbers from Venezuela.[30] For soloing shots, the climbers were tied into thin Spectra line that could be digitized out. All bolts used in the filming were removed afterwards.[30]

Jumping sequences

On several European jumping scenes, Core, who also previously trained as a mountain ranger, would hike up with a small crew and wait hours for safe conditions.[7] Kosove said the movie "was more of an expedition than a production."[7]

Release

The film was initially slated for an August 7, 2015 release,[20] but on August 12, 2014, Warner Bros. brought the date forward to July 31, 2015.[31] On February 3, 2015, the release date was moved back to December 25, 2015.[32] Warner Bros. Pictures distributed the film in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Russia, Japan and Latin America,[33] and Lionsgate distributed the film in other territories. DMG Entertainment, which collaborated with Alcon Entertainment to finance and develop the remake, distributes the film in China, where it was released on December 4, 2015.[6][34]

Critical reception

On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 11% based on 109 reviews, and an average rating of 3.64/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Loaded with dazzling action but bereft of purpose, the Point Break remake will be remembered as the first film to make audiences pine for the simultaneous presences of Keanu Reeves and Gary Busey."[50] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 34 out of 100, based on 21 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[51] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[52]

Maggie Lee of Variety called the film "a visual dazzler and a dramatic non-starter."[53] Elizabeth Kerr of The Hollywood Reporter called the film "a thrill ride in need of a few more thrills."[54] Norl Murray of the Los Angeles Times remarked that "while Bigelow's version featured charismatic lead performances and ample pop, Core's cast mumbles slowly and sparingly at one another until it's time to jump off something."[55] The A.V. Club's Ignatiy Vishnevetsky said: "Boldly reimagining Kathryn Bigelow's cult favorite as a movie where absolutely nobody seems to be having any fun, the new Point Break drops the original's Zen-like balance of macho mysticism and camp in favor of dour humorlessness."[56]
