This movie is unbelievably stupidbut somehow people (including me) like it. Just watch ittake it for what it isand go with the flow. Vin Diesel plays an "extreme protester" recruited by "The Man" to accomplish some vague mission. Don't get too concerned about the missionor anything else for that matter. Anything resembling a plot is present only to justify the explosion or parachute jump or whatever impossible physical challenge the stunt-masters have come up with. Just be happy you rented this instead of paid to see it in a theater. Invite your friends overhave a few beersand enjoy!!!

This film is funwith an easy plot to follow and a great soundtrack. the film is basically a 2hour long stunt. the one major criticism i have is that Asia Argento should stick to letting Daddy chop her up in his movies instead of trying to be a serious actress. The film is made all the better on a personal level in the fact that Rammstein make a live appearance at the beginning of the film. Vin Diesel has the charisma and potential to be the next big action movie star and has a really cool voice. Samuel Jackson gets to play his typical gruff shouting role that he has made his own and there are several stunts that are truly breathtakingit is just sad that one of these led to the stuntman performing it's death.

xXx is as big as Pinocihos nose after he has read a statement written by Jeffrey Archer and as dumb as a person with no tongue. It is designed for the kind of people who think that Bond movies have too much of that talking stuff between explosions and use this strange music that doesn't seem to have distorted electric guitars or rapping on it. It is also a lot of fun.

After losing another spy on the trail of ultra stupid terrorist anarchy 99whose plan for world domination involves building a boat in a landlocked countrythe NSA decide they need a new breed of agent. Therefore they kidnap extreme sports enthusiast and counter culture hero Xander Cageaka xXxaka Vin Diesel playing virtually the same character he did in Pitch Black and The Fast And The Furious. After watching him do Evil Kineval impersonations around a Colombian cocaine plantation whilst the army try to blow it off the face of the Earth they cut him a deal. Either save the world or go to jail. Unsurprisingly he chooses the former.

For the first 20 minutes it looks encouragingly like the they have just allowed the stunt team to make the entire movie. However before long we have scenes developing the love interest set in swanky restaurants and a lush orchestral score creeping in. This wouldn't be a problem if the writer didn't think the phrase "one liner" referred to the amount of decent dialogue he had to include in the entire film. As it is your mind starts wandering as soon as things stop exploding.

However xXx's action sequences are more than enough to compensate the viewer for their patience during the more laboured elements of the film. The stunts are by turns ambitiousoutrageous and just plain improbablehowever it seems unlikely that the film will be causing the James Bond producers too many sleepless nights. In fact before long they will be making films to appeal to people who think the xXx movies have too much dialogue and not enough nu-metal. They'll probably call them Jackass Bond.

LookI'm not going to pretend that this is some sort of masterpiece. Though it is basically another "generic action flick"the twists that they add to it make it worth watching. The way they incorporate their "recruitment program" into the movie is fun and originaland though Vin Diesel doesn't really "act" in itit's a lot of fun to watch. It has a few suspenseful plot elementsand the way they incorporate his status as an extreme sports star (not a spoilerit's in the previews) into the way he conducts himself as a secret agent makes it more believable. Ever think about some of the stunts that go on in an action movie and wonder"Okayexactly WHY would this particular person know how to do that?"because it seems completely unlikely that there would be some sort of training program for the stunt they just pulled off? This movie doesn't have thatbecause whether he's on a motorcycleskisor whateveryou can believe that an extreme sports star would be able to pull off what he's doing. Though the plot is as unrealistic as most movies of this genrethe stunts are a lot more believable than you'll find in most.

This blockbuster concerns about Xander Cagea macho-man with natural athletic abilitieshe's an extreme-sports expert. When he is by force recruited by NSA agent Gibbons(Samuel L. Jackson) for dangerous mission and as avoid going to jail but he has some problems with the law . Xander can succeed where other US Government agents have failed. He must to go underground Praga and infiltrate as undercover agent into Russian ring called Anarchy 99led by a ruthless mobster(Marton Csokas) who uses nuclear weapons. Xander Cage must combat a cruel enemy far beyond his possibilitieshe's only helped by a gorgeous girl(Asia Argento). FurthermoreXander is supplied with technological arms by an agent(Michael Roof)similar to Q-James Bond.

The film contains high-energy actionnoisy thrillsstrugglesemotion and spectacular scenes. It's over-the-top action movie plenty of explosionsfirepowergun-play and breathtaking pursuits as when a motorcycle runs afoul with bounds and leaps. The picture is stirring and excitingthough also a routine actioner with no much sense. Tough Diesel as one army man is coolhe's co-executive producer. Lively musical score by Randy Edelman adding hard rockheavy metal and disco-music. The film is produced with high budget by Neal H. Moritzan action movies producer and usual of Rob Cohen movies. Cohen is a nice director of hitssuch as ¨StealthFast and furiousDaylightSkullsDragonheart¨ among others. It's followed by an inferior sequel starred by Ice Cube and again with Samuel L Jackson and directed by Lee Tamahori.
