Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze star in this 1991 wave riding, bank robbing cult-classic. It's the fourth film of action director Kathryn Bigelow, who went on to win Oscars for The Hurt Locker.
On coastal Los Angeles, a gang of bank robbers call themselves The Ex-Presidents, committing their crimes while wearing masks of Reagan, Carter, Nixon and Johnson. The FBI, believing the members to be surfers, send agent Johnny Utah (Reeves) undercover.

Total Film"Mr. Iliff's screenplay includes some egregious silliness and a long string of false endings, but occasionally it sounds the kind of tough-guy note that gets one's attention."

The New York Times
The New York Times"The plot of "Point Blank," summarized, invites parody (rookie agent goes undercover as surfer to catch bank robbers). The result is surprisingly effective."
