This has to be one of of the most ridiculous movies ever made. Surfers rob banks in US Presidents masks so they can pursue an endless summer of surfing across the world. And Keanu Reaves is the only man that can stop them!
Still, despite Keanu's famous "acting" there's something that's still highly fun about this movie. There's a chemistry in the characters that pulls the story together. Patrick Swayze as the Zen Master surfer, who just also happens to rob banks. Keanu Reaves as the dopey FBI agent, former football star, who just happens to fall in love with surfing, as well as a very hot Lori Petty.
Director Kathryn Bigelow is somehow able to pull magic out this silly movie that might otherwise have been forgotten. Part action movie, part character building, part fish out of water, this movie is worth watch, or another if you saw it 30 years ago.
