On the subject of XXX, neither the first or the second were exciting, so I doubt this will be anything more than an average hollywood action film. ... Full Review

Following hot on the heels of the upcoming Fast And Furious , in which he re-teams for more rubber-burning action with Paul Walker, Diesel has now signed up for a third XXX movie.
The 2002 original, which starred Diesel as an extreme sports enthusiast who gets drafted by the government for a dangerous mission, was a dumb-but-fun explosion fest and Diesel's reprisal of the role should act as penance for all those bad career choices (as well as helping to eradicate all memories of Ice Cube's po-faced sequel) ...

His build and kick ass attitude help almost every role he plays in, but this role in xXx is perfect.
The overall directing style of the film is not as good as I would have thought it should be.
Vin Diesel is a bad ass

XXX" is the probably the worst film of 2002!
Yes, I know that this movie is a little over the top, but it qualifies as one of those guilty pleasures we visit from time to time when we want mindless entertainment.

Okay, let me see if I get this straight: "XXX" is about how the United States government sends an adrenaline junkie criminal into Prague to rub shoulders with this madman, who has a nuclear weapon and plans on killing everyone in the world with it, including himself, for no good purpose. ...

Good film and Vin seemed like he was destined for moviestardom.
My quote for that review was simply "This is a good example of how a first-rate DVD should be made, but a bad example of how to make a first-rate film.
The film started off nicely.

The film is a little better than the bonus content but it certainly makes the $20 DVD a pretty good buy.
XXX: A Filmmaker's Diary" adds nearly an hour's worth of entertainment.

The film's most fantastic action scene (and that's really saying something), which involves Xander out-snowboarding an avalanche, is an exercise in suspension of disbelief.
Too often things explode from multiple angles, changing perspective to such a degree that it's impossible to know where the characters are.

That doesn't make it a great film by any stretch, but indiscriminating action fans aside, the original was a hot steaming turd while this one is a fun stinker.
Thinking about the plot too deeply will only cause excessive outbursts of laughter so simply try not to think-just sit back and let the movie play.
