Point Break aspires to be a decent remake, but winds up being one of the most boring action films ever made.

The Point Break remake dials up the adrenaline with epic stuntwork but fails to weave any of the action into its incomprehensible and boring plot.

But theres no context to the moment it doesnt work as goofy macho posturing or as a romantic gesture, just purely as a tribute to the nineties.
