    This is a B movie rooted in gut-level stirrings of power and retaliation.

    Thankfully, State Of The Union's pulpy, adrenalized blaxploitation spin on the secret-agent genre provides the dumb fun its predecessor should have dished out.

    What isn't scary--or exciting, amusing or fun--is XXX: State of the Union, a movie so preposterous, cliché-packed and over the top that it makes the original "XXX" seem as good as the original "State of the Union."

    The whole movie defines perfect summer entertainment. Too bad it came out in April.

    Man, this movie was total dung, man. the Tyson B. dude is right, "wars come and go but my soldiers stay eternal" was totally not suitable in the context that it was used, its kind of an insult to 2pac. some comedy and satire is good, but an action movie must have some seriousness as an element, or it loses its awe. The movie has been further degraded by the overuse of coolness on xxx's part. ok dude, we know u r cool and fearless , ur xxx, after all, u dont need to remind us of that by toughing up ur face and passing a hard comment every 15 minutes. the 1 point out of 10 it deserves is for its creative ideas like flying a boat up on a bridge and stopping a tank using car jacks,, and for its effects.… Expand
