GibbyGibbo Vin Diesel oozes style and bad assness as Zander Cage pro underground athlete whose is recruited by Samual l. Jackson for the NSA xXx Program of which he is the first recruit he is sent to Russia to stop a Russian terrorist organization.There are a lot of cool action scenes good cinematography and the music is rather earlier 2000's cool dude music but it is a good action movie one of the best 2000's action spy flicks with lots of explosions and cool cars. 7.5 / 10 give it a go.

goolizap Has action changed all that much since 2002? Because action in movies has. Back before about 10 years ago, characters were much less jokey, things blew up a lot more, and bad guys had terrible aim.While dated as can be, xXx is an enjoyable watch. The film's inspiration is questionable, but Vin Diesel plays the title role exactly how you'd expect him to. There is no shortage of platitudinous quips, but he delivers them in a way that makes you forget that the dialogue is terribly written.Diesel plays Xander Cage, aka Triple X, a criminal stunt man hired by the US government to infiltrate the international mercenary group, Anarchy 99. There's not a whole lot more to it than that, yet the film seems to be able to stretch itself to nearly 120 minutes (132 in the director's cut).xXx is so 2002 that, at times, you can't differentiate it from a early 2000s Disney Channel Original Movie. It sacrifices practicality for spectacle whenever it gets the chance. But considering its action-based modus operandi, the film still tends to drag at times.Ultimately xXx does nothing new. At all. The only reason why anyone would watch this film is to experience Vin Diesel's charisma and charm. Because that's really the only unique aspect brought to the otherwise trite premise.But it's entertaining. Mindless, but entertaining. Despite the hackneyed script, you have to commend the movie for not taking itself too seriously, ultimately not making it a chore to watch. It's actually quite fun and ridiculous in all its glory.Twizard Rating: 72

adonis98-743-186503 An extreme sports athlete, Xander Cage, is recruited by the government on a special mission. With XXX: Return of Xander Cage coming out in Theaters this Friday i decided to re-watch the first 2 films and review them so let's start with XXX the Original film starring Vin Diesel that came out in 2002 and it's a spy action film with lots of suspense and some pretty cool stunt work and although the movie can get a bit cheesy at times with things that make no sense just remember that this was the case all along. The acting is good for a film of this kind and Marton Csokas makes a really good villain as for Samuel L. Jackson he is great as always, the action sequences were handled very well and they were thrilling from start to finish and the film in the end succeeds on what it tries to do which is to entertain it's viewers with non stop action and one liners plus the soundtrack was pretty cool too (A+)

gavin6942 An extreme sports athlete, Xander Cage (Vin Diesel), is recruited by the government on a special mission.I wish I didn't like this film. I mean, I'm not typically someone who goes for over-the-top action films. I like the cheesy 1980s ones from Cannon and all that, but I am not huge into the fast cars and all that. And that, this film won me over.Most likely it had something to do with the metal aesthetic. Opening with a Rammstein concert, flames and all, definitely caught my attention. And then you cast Asia Argento? Good choice. She had a few good years and this was probably one of them...
