About
You’ll likely enjoy this stylish 90s cops-and-robbers thrill ride if you want adrenaline, beach life, and fast escalation; Not for you if you dislike cheesy dialogue or plot predictability, especially if you prefer Ronin or Point Break (2015) instead.
Pros: nonstop adrenaline fun; strong cast chemistry; iconic chase energy | Cons: cheesy dialogue moments; predictable turns; plot feels holey
