Reeves has been acting since the 80s, and it didnt take him long before he started getting the attention of some of the biggest names in Hollywood. His early hits, such asBill & Teds Excellent Adventure andPoint Break helped earn him a part in Francis Ford Coppolas Bram Stokers Dracula.

Not long after, he became a full-time action hero, as his role as Neo inThe Matrixearn him millions.But after The Matrix trilogy wrapped up, as well as some personal tragedies, Reeves hit a low point in his career.

Most of the movies that he did after The Matrix just didnt do so well. In 2013, his action film47 Ronin was a massive flop, but fortunately for him, a year later,John Wick premiered, and it was a return to form for him. AfterJohn Wick, he still got cast in a couple of bad movies, but by and large, hes on the up and up nowadays.

As the South China Morning Post reported, out of all the movies that hes ever done, one of his favorite movies was one of his earliest ones,Point Break. In hindsight,Point Break was a wild film, since it featured Reeves playing an FBI agent whos trying to infiltrate a bank robbing gang of surfer dudes led by Patrick Swayzes character, Bodhi.

But, like Reeves said, he loved the film for a lot of reasons, and one of those reasons was because of how Kathryn Bigelow, the director ofPoint Break, decided to shoot the movie. Reeves said that she, had this incredibly cool vision of the kind of world she wanted to create. Additionally, he loved how she portrayed many aspects of the story.

For example, surfing is a major component of the film, and Reeves said that the movie portrayed surfing with so much beauty and the passion for riding waves. Theres also a major action scene involving skydiving, and like Reeves said, hes had many fans tell him how powerful those surfing and skydiving scenes inPoint Break were.

And, like the South China Morning Post wrote, one of the other reasons why Reeves loved Point Break so much was because he could relate to all of those fans who took up surfing and skydiving after watching the movie. He said that their passion for those hobbies reminded him of his passion for motorcycle riding. Like Reeves said, I know exactly how they feel.

Point Break was relatively successful at the box office when it premiered in 1991, but its become a bigger hit afterward. In fact, in 2015, Hollywood decided to remakePoint Break, but neither Reeves nor Bigelow returned to their roles.

As a result, the remake didnt do well at the box office, and fans and critics didnt like it either. Regardless, the original remains as one of the many highlights in Reevess career.
