An undercover cop makes his way into a scene of bank-robbing extreme-sports atheletes after befriending their charismatic leader. Their cat-and-mouse now is with snowboarding, wingsuit flying and free rock climbing.

The crew are almost impossible to differentiate and barely have their own personalities.December 29, 2015
A remake that ought not to have been made.December 29, 2015
Stiff, humorless, tension-free ...January 03, 2016
For all the adrenalizing positives in this reworked "Point Break," inadvertent silliness remains.December 27, 2015
Nowhere does Mr. Core's film approach the action-movie chops or psychological smarts of Ms. Bigelow's original or, truth be told, benefit from actors displaying the same charm as her stars.August 16, 2016
