An image from Kathryn Bigelow's much talked about, testosterone charged, guy flick Point Break. A movie with enough campiness to last a lifetime yet with enough energy to put to shame most of today's -and yesterday's- action thrillers. I'm not thinking of the overtly climatic finale but a chase sequence that last more that 12 minutes near the film's mid section and a real talent for editing and shot selection in said actions sequence(s). Suffice to say it might not be a great movie but it's sort of a mini classic in the genre and surely an indicator of how talented Bigelow is, even with a script as overstuffed as this one. Don't forget she made The Hurt Locker 18 years later.
