I recently watched the Fast and the Furious for the first time. Its similarities to Point Break drove me to rewatch Point Break. This despite having some negative feelings about the film. So I talk about those feelings, where they come from, and how some things are worth revisiting despite your feelings.
Then I move onto discussing the film. I talk about the production, the director, writers, the soundtrack, the sequel, and much more.
This film is peak Patrick Swayze and I think one of the films that helped invent the modern action film. So if you haven’t seen it in a while, or have never seen it, go grab yourself two meatball sandwiches and give it a watch.
