Point Break is pretty awesome. I would have said Zodiac just because it is even more awesome, though.

Dot Matrix printers, heh.
"Young, dumb, full of cum". Also, Johnny Utah is the dumbest name for a character, ever.Oh, good, pre-crazy Gary Busey. I like that this movie was once the highlight of cool. Also, banks w/o bullet proof glass and crazy alarms. This movie is old. This whole thing is like that 24 in 1994 spoof.
I'm not a Keanu-basher, but he is beyond super terrible in this movie. "They're traveling on the money, going where the waves are". This movie just took a turn for the STUPID AWESOME. Is this a crime movie or a movie about how awesome surfing is? We'll see.

I hate Lori Petty so much. She's like the girl you're afraid of waking up to. Also, creepy changing montage.
"What do you want?, "Shrimp and fries". Why does she look like Meg Ryan?

This football part is boring. Also, if you're going to infiltrate a bank robbing ganag, maybe don't use your real name.

Yep it was boring, but the main problem with the film was how pretentious and self important it was. The stories depicted were completely exploitative and manipulating, and the threads which tied the different plotlines together were so contrived that the film made Lost look like the 6 o'clock news. Thematically this film is a complete mess, it has absolutely no idea what its trying to do. All this coupled with some awful 'ambient' music, makes for probably the most annoying, pretentious, you-should-like-this-film-becuase-its-art movie Ive ever seen.
edit: this post refers to Babel, not Point Break
Point Break :bow
:piss Babel

Zodiac was boring. The real case wasn't even interesting in the first place.

This is an interesting meditation on post-Regan America. But mostly I want it to be over. The last 20 minutes better be especially awesome.
