The Skinny: This cult classic starring Keanu Reeves as a FBI noob who poses as a surfer dude to infiltrate a bank-robbing crew led by a Zen Patrick Swayze has everything: tall waves, fighting, shooting, running, skydiving, and laughable dialogue. If anything, it's gotten better with age
unlike Gary Busey.
The Good: It may have been made 17 years ago, but this is the type of movie meant for Blu-ray. You can feel like you're riding the waves, and you can practically taste those delicious meatball sandwiches. Utah, get me two!
The Bad: All of the extras are ported over from the 2006 "Pure Adrenaline Edition," so there's nothing new to see here. Unless you don't have that version, in which case you're not missing much besides a few deleted scenes and a decent retrospective called "It's Make or Break."
Best Extra: Like we said above, this has the same stuff from the most recent Point Break special edition DVD. (Don't you pay attention?) Sad, since we were hoping for commentary. Seriously, how is it possible for a movie like Drillbit Taylor to have a commentary track, while something this awesome with probably a million worthwhile behind-the-scenes stories gets the shaft? Not fair, brah.
