Thriller. Action A young FBI agent, Johnny Utah (Luke Bracey), infiltrates a gang of extreme sportsmen – led by the charismatic Bodhi (Edgar Ramirez). The athletes are suspected of carrying out a spate of crimes in extremely unusual ways. Deep undercover, and with his life in imminent danger, Utah strives to prove they are the architects of this string of inconceivable crimes.

	Author	Review
United States	Stephanie Merry The Washington Post	"A cavalcade of extreme sports, but with less drama than a highlight reel (...) A little more character development, for example, wouldn’t hurt"	NEG
United States	Maggie Lee Variety	"The sense of living dangerously is somewhat lacking as Kurt Wimmer’s emotionally vacant screenplay fails to make audiences care enough about the characters"	NEG
United States	Elizabeth Kerr The Hollywood Reporter	"Luke Bracey and Edgar Ramirez aren’t going to make anyone forget Reeves and Swayze (...) but Core has turned in a technically sturdy and serviceable action picture"	NEU
United States	Peter Hartlaub SFGATE	"This 'Point Break' removes almost everything that was special about the 1991 original, and replaces it with a Mountain Dew commercial"	NEG
United Kingdom	James Marsh Screendaily	"Fans of the original will mourn the lack of memorable characters, quotable dialogue and the now-legendary central bromance"	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"Nowhere does Mr. Core’s film approach the action-movie chops or psychological smarts of Ms. Bigelow’s original or (...) benefit from actors displaying the same charm as her stars. But for a number of liberating airborne seconds, none of that may matter."	NEU
