Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), un joven agente del FBI, se infiltra en los ambientes del surf para desenmascarar a una banda de atracadores que, como sello de identidad, usan caretas de presidentes de los Estados Unidos durante sus golpes. Pero Johnny pronto se encapricha de la guapa Tyler (Lori Petty) y, además, conoce a Bodhi (Patrick Swayze), el jefe de la banda, un hombre que vive al límite y que acaba ejerciendo una gran influencia sobre el joven policía.

La película que inicia la carrera estelar de Reeves. Un suspenso policíaco atractivo por el entorno de surfistas. Empieza a coger el ritmo adecuado en el último tercio, todo lo anterior es llegar a conocer a los personajes. Sus relaciones están bien desarrolladas, pero hoy en día más bien parecen clichés. Sin embargo, el último tercio sorprende con giros impredecibles y sus escenas de paracaídas completan junto a las de surf la agradable poética de un estilo de vida libre (que define a los personajes de la película). El final agrega un poco de profundidad, pero se puede sentir que fue inventado y rodado más tarde, medio año después del final del rodaje original de la película. Lo que es difícil de aguantar en esta obra hoy en día es la terrible música de «acción» de Isham (un desastre de percusión sin motivo). Uno se da cuenta de cómo Zimmer y sus alumnos cambiaron por completo el aspecto de la música de cine de acción de Hollywood.

It’s a beautiful movie, what else can I say? It’s simply a beautiful movie. At the beginning you have no idea what to think. Nevertheless, Keanu Reeves immediately puts on the air of a sharp-eyed rookie, and dives into his case. Everything on that coast is moving with a loose pace until there are scenes that I didn’t believe I’d ever see in a movie. The reviewer Enšpígl said it beautifully. There’s plenty of room for the freedom of the human spirit. It’s easy to listen to and even more to experience when you actually dive into the movie. Some scenes stuck in my mind and I might never get them out of my head and I’m already looking forward to watching the movie again. If nothing else, the ending is out of this world. And if anyone says otherwise, they’re just weird...

The film features a great Swayze and Reeves, a funny Busey, and mainly amazingly-filmed surfing. It’s all underscored by Isham's ethereal music, interestingly contrasting with the lively action, where even the iconic jump without a parachute pumps gallons of adrenaline into the audience’s veins, making one wonder how Kathryn Bigelow does it. This woman just has to have balls. Half the guys in Hollywood don't make action movies this vibrant.

A solid hit in our cinemas in the early 90s. With a bit of hyperbole, a wittier Baywatch meets a buddy-cop movie like Lethal Weapon – gorgeous waves, surfing, a sense of unbridled freedom, and a criminal plot led by two handsome men with considerable acting talent. All this under the direction of a lady who proved that working with her husband, the famous James Cameron, this time in the role of executive producer, suited her perfectly. It's simply impossible not to succumb to the superficial feeling; all those beautiful shots with wild waves and brave surfers are just asking to be put on a calendar, and together with the parachute scene they can give you a pleasant chill. I have to admit that I was a little jealous of Swayze’s Bodhi's search for freedom and the spiritual side of the sea, and I would love to trade places with him for a while. The unconventional ending and the casting of the well-known representative of assholes of all kinds, Gary Busey, in perhaps the only unreservedly positive role of his career are also a delight. All in all, a happy 3*, the fourth one was definitely raised by the funny cameo of Anthony Kiedis, frontman of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, playing a bad guy, and his cool catchphrase "That would be a waste of time…".

Definitely an action classic in its day, but this film hasn't really struck me much nowadays. Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze are great, the action is pretty decent, but I wasn't impressed with the surfing thing, I wouldn't mix that into the action genre at all. 65%
