    A threat to the Bond franchise? Not a threat so much as a salute. I don't want James Bond to turn crude and muscular on me; I like the suave style. But I like Xander, too, especially since he seems to have studied Bond so very carefully.

    To top it all off, no matter where you sit in the theater, no matter how far you arch back in your seat, there's no escaping the sensation that all the action on the screen is taking place about three feet from your face. I loved it.

    A brawny commercial attraction strategically tapping into the auds for extreme sports, spy pix, thrill rides, popcorn actioners and anyone looking to see Diesel kick butt, blow stuff up and/or take his shirt off.

    All you get here for paid admission is a long and terrific avalanche scene -- state of the art, no question. Then it's over and ready to melt away, much like memories of this movie.

  1. I thought it was a pretty good action movie. It was action packed from start to finish, original, and rather fun to watch. I enjoyed it and I am rather suprise to see that users didn't enjoy it as well. Expand

    This was a nice action movie. Although it was not one of Vin Deseil's best movies.
  3. The action scenes of this movie were terrifically mind-blowing, but the poor plot and mediocre voice acting screwed it up. "xXx" isn't a movie that I recommend Expand
  4. xXx is still infected by Cohen with the same chaotic rage of Fast and Furious; however, its not as insufferable, considering the action covers more ground than just aimless car chases. Expand
