    I'm not a big fan of Vin Diesel and I thought this film was fairly awful to be honest!
  • April 29, 2009
    Take one part EFNY, one part popular trend (extreme sports) and one part spy movie and this is what you get. Well, that's not fair. This is what you get when the script is on autopilot. The stunt team determines how things are really going to go.

    Anyway, Vin Diesel muscles hi...( read more)s way through this adequate action potboiler. You're not supposed to think, but because so much of the action is X-sports related, the stunt guys subbing for VD take you out of the picture.

    I don't know about this one. Vin Diesel's one-liners are not bad-funny, they're just bad. Some of the music ques are awful, and even the action isn't all that interesting.

    "Welcome to the Xander Zone!"

    "xXx" is easy to like. It doesn't take itself seriously, it relies on the charm of Vin Diesel and gives us what we want... An easy to follow plot that justifies incredible stunts and great action scenes with a metal soundtrack.

    Vin Diesel is pe...( read more)rfect for the role. As an actor, I've always liked him. Most of you are thinking: "what the fuck is wrong with you!?", but he deserves my respect. (That's the MTV generation in me talking...)

    The only actor who pulls it off in "xXx" is Mr Diesel. But what's with the jacket that looks like it just died? Rest of the acting is just plain awful. Sam Jackson. What a waste. Asia Argento. Come on. Marton Csokas. Who?

    The film is full of fun, has incredible action scenes and stunts and is very entertaining if you're in the right mood. Worth a look? Definitely! If you don't like Bond or Bourne, give Xander Cage a shot.

    As a curiosity, the final stunt resulted in the death of a stuntman, may he rest in peace.

    "So, how long have you been a secret agent?
    - Two days."

    Another one that I haven't seen in a while - I liked it though. These are the movies Vin Diesel was made for.

    That was one very silly action flick. You'd be hard pressed not to at least enjoy it a little bit. The opening sequence is great!
  • November 12, 2009
    Gave it another look, and man alive, it's all so extreme it just makes me cringe. They manage to have him work his way through all the sports in the X-Games in the course of 2 hours, thank God they were able to work in that snow-boarding sequence, eh?

    I like Vin Diesel well eno...( read more)ugh, but him cast as this utterly resourceful super-spy is stretching my abilities to suspend disbelief just a little too thin, sorry folks. Asia Argento is pretty sultry as always, but that's probably her reading the newspaper as well, so it's probably not much of a performance, is it?

    Has a few good moments, but otherwise isn't all that compelling.

    Rental at best.

    XXX walks the walk on action but it did not talk the talk with corny ridiculous writing in the script. C+: Okay.

Critic Reviews

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Cohen ... loads the film with pow. full review

August 9, 2002
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Its scale and audacity, its brashness and vulgarity make it a pleasure from beginning to end -- or a guilty pleasure for those prone to guilt. full review

August 9, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

In its own punk way, XXX is as good as a good Bond movie, and that's saying something. full review

August 9, 2002
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

In XXX, Diesel is that rare creature -- an action hero with table manners, and one who proves that elegance is more than tattoo deep. full review

August 8, 2002
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

It's got the brawn, but not the brains. full review
