His character speaks in motivational poster-esque, faux deep quotes shrouded in mock spirituality for nearly 2 hours. Edgar Ramirez isn't a terrible actor, he just doesn't have any good material to work with here. Here, Bracey is not as derpy as usual, but rather, so ridiculously serious delivering the piss poor lines he is given by the makers of this film that it comes off as goofy rather than serious business. He is more one note than Keanu Reeves with less than half the charm, if that is even possible. Every single time he has been in a film we have seen, we mention that Luke Bracey cannot act. Let's start with the easiest and worst part of the movie: the acting. Don't judge a book by its cover? Well, not quite. On its own, the "Point Break" remake is still bad, but we're ashamed to say it's not as bad as we thought it would be judging by the awful trailer theaters have been playing for ages. We will try and ignore this as much as possible (and as much as our love for the original wants us to) and just speak about this film on its own merits rather than in relation to the original.
POINT BREAK 2016 MOVIE
It is almost to film's detriment that it shares a name with the 1991 movie because now, it goes beyond whether it is good or bad, but it will also be judged on how far it strayed from the source and whether or not it treated those original characters with respect. Sure, there is a character named Johnny 'Utah,' played here by Luke Bracey, and a character named Bodhi, played this time by Edgar Ramirez, and sure, some crimes are committed that are being investigated by the FBI, but that's about it for the similarities. This one's more like a quasi-remake, and we say this because it's really just a remake in name only. The remake of "Point Break" bears little similarity to the original 1991 action crime film starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze, one BigJ and I both really, really like despite its overall cheesiness.
Oh, look! It's those flying squirrel suits a la "After Earth"!
