It was one time watch kind of movie. But it was worth the watch. Not too good but not bad either. The stunts could have been better. Its typical Vin Diesel movie with cars, bikes and action. But i can say the year it was made, with the animation and graphics available that year, the movie was well made considering that. The story was not that good. That was one the main bad thing about the movie.

Riding off the success of Pitch Black and The Fast and the Furious, Vin Diesel kept up the stealing cars and criminal hero act with xXx. Diesel plays stuntman Xander Cage who is recruited by NSA Agent Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) to help nab Russian criminals in the Czech Republic. The leader of this group of criminal is a stock villain named Yorgi (Marton Csokas). The acting is over the top and the stunts are outrageous making for a mediocre action flick.Xander Cage takes on a role as an anti-James Bond and solves the international crises that men in nice suits can't. The scar-faced Agent Gibbons puts xXx through a series of tests, knocking him out and throwing him into situations a normal person wouldn't survive. Xander uses his extreme sports skills from biking to skating to outrageous driving to get out of trouble. Facing a lifelong prison sentence, Xander agrees to work with the NSA and heads to the Czech republic. He quickly falls in with the group of criminal using his lack of respect for rules as a gateway into gaining the trust of Yorgi. Xander encounters and falls for the mysterious Yelena (Asia Argento) who he discovers is a secret agent herself. When Xander reveals her secret to her, she doesn't believe him until his cover is blown and he is taken off the mission. Check out more of this review and others at swilliky.com

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...

This isn't really a film, rather a bunch of "Xtreme" sports stunts strung together under the pretense of a modern souped-up James Bond- style storyline. It's basically really, really dumb with plot holes so large that they might as well have driven the stunt cars through them, but then, that's par for the course with this kind of movie. It's chock full of all kinds of gear, weapons, vehicles and improbable physical feats. I have no idea of how many blanks were fired filming this for my entertainment, but I really wouldn't be surprised if it were upwards of a quarter million, given the two hour runtime and the prolific use of automatic weapons. Still, as long as you accept it for what it is, it keeps moving and holds together pretty well, although the particular examples of "Xtreme" action showcased in this film (and I use that term loosely) date this production pretty obviously to the early naughts.
