Point Break gets a 10 out of 10
The movie included a robbery scene, which was extremely important to the plot, that was recently praised by former bank robber.In an interview with Insider, Cain Vincent Dyer shared his thoughts on the movie and that particular scene:
“In so many bank robberies, we actually witness the robbers coming in and yelling at customers and tellers alike to get down or to raise their hands. That’s something that I definitely stayed away from. The thought process behind doing that is to have absolute control of the movement. I never asked anyone to lay on the floor or lift their hands. If you’re a customer walking up to the bank, and you see a bunch of people standing in there with their hands up or laying on the ground, you’re not going to enter. First thing you’re going to do is call the police… We see the bank-robbery crew wearing the president’s mask, the rubber mask. One of the bad things about wearing a mask: You’re alerting people that probably something’s going to take place here. I would wear glasses and a baseball hat because I wanted more so the element of surprise and to make certain that no one saw me walking up to the bank ready to commit a robbery… To be in and out in a minute and a half, pretty much right on the money. Typically, once you go into a bank and the alarm is set, depending on where law enforcement is in relation to the bank, it’ll typically take about a minute and a half. You have a group of guys that are all going after the drawers, and depending on the location of the bank, they’re probably not leaving with a big dollar amount. But I think their thing is quantity. Do a lot of these things, get in, get out, versus spending too much time trying to take on the vault. But for the most part, whenever you have a group-style bank robbery, it seems to be the method that they prefer. The overwhelming, the yelling, and things like that. So, ‘Point Break,’ gotta give it a 10.”
