Vin Diesel is no James Bond, and he doesn't want to be. That's why XXX announced Diesel as the adrenalin-junkie Bond of the PlayStation generation, copying the Bond formula so shamelessly that this action-packed silliness would be a Bond movie if it starred Pierce Brosnan. Reuniting Diesel with his Fast and the Furious director Rob Cohen, XXX has an attitude (if not a brain) all its own, plucking Diesel's Xander Cage from his celebrity as an extreme sports renegade, recruited by a National Security Agency big shot (Samuel L. Jackson) to foil a nasty Czech villain (Marton Csokas) who's eager to depopulate Prague with remote-controlled biological weaponry. Toss in a sulky, sultry Russian agent (Asia Argento) and you've got extreme Bond-age for anyone who thinks tuxedos are passé. With a handful of eye-popping action sequences, XXX launched a movie franchise with a cool guy, another cool muscle car, and plenty of box-office sizzle. --Jeff Shannon

Before even watching this movie I blew it off as a hack ripoff of action hero movies. But I soon found out how fun this movie was to watch. If anything, Vin Diesel got his point across that he wasn't trying to portray (ahem) other action heroes in a serious way.
Vin Diesel was extremely funny, and I think if people just take this as a "Fun Action Movie" they'd really enjoy it, instead of just cutting Vin down as a wannabee. Unlike the blowhard critics, you really ought to watch this ... Read More

I wondered if this movie was supposed to be a spoof of movies like those featuring James Bond. I took it that way and really liked this movie. I don't think the movie itself is a spoof because it is very serious as far as the murders and impending danger of the bad guy's ultimate goal. The weapons and special effects were also very well done. But looking at the main character and storyline in a lighter way helped me appreciate the entertainment value of this. Vin Diesel did a good job of his character. ... Read More

Back to a more blatant Bond imitator, this 2002 stunt and gadget laden spy adventure boasted how it was going to usurp 007's throne by providing "a new breed of hero" in the form of shaven headed, tattoed extreme sports star, Xander Cage, played by Vin Diesel. It laboured this claim by opening with a Bond style agent being killed in embarrassing circumstances. As it turned out, few people were tired with the "old style" agent, as box office profits for that year's Bond, Die Another Day, soon put paid to Vin ... Read More

This is one of my favorite senseless action movies. Some of the scenes are quite serious but they end up quite funny.
Marton Csokas and his...gangsters are awesome! "Show me the cop...and do not be mistake!"
If you're going to watch this you got to be in the kind of mindset like if you were to watch CRANK or SHOOT EM UP. XXX is over-the-top when it comes to its action scenes. If you're in this frame of mind you may actually enjoy the movie.

Now, i've just read a lot of bad reviews of this film, & some good points have been taken. But seriously - you knew this was an action movie when you went into the theatre! Mindless - guilty. Unbelievable - definitely. Boring - NO. The stunts are great, it's got funny (and dumb) 1 liners from the hero, & it's got the hot girl for the hero. Everything that makes action movies good, right? Before you condemn this movie for it's cliches, take a look at some of the other action movies you clame to like. ... Read More
