'XXX' is a film for the Play Station generation and when Zander Cage (Vin Diesel) proclaims "I like something fast enough to do something stupid in," you know he's going to get it.
'XXX' is an action film, a thriller and a bit of a mystery to me. What's Samuel Jackson doing here? Did he lose a bet? Vin Diesel was quite at home among the beautifully illustrated, strategically pierced Eurotrash. "Why is it always the a-holes who pass the test?" was posed by a regular agent about the motley collection of recruits. Is he referring to the screen test. But then I thought Vin Diesel was a wine to be served with at tailgate parties.
Everything about this film is beyond belief. The effects are brutal - I believe no animals were harmed in it's filming however a stunt double was killed- the dialog punishing - "the things I'm gonna do for my country" says Cage as he moves on a perky seductress- and the plot derivative - Cage is offered a get out of jail free card if he works for the agency. What's that smell? A sequel perhaps? Nature has a way of washing clean our mistakes as Prague, the scene of this crime, is now half submerged.
You won't fall asleep on this one unless you can snooze through an earthquake. And those among you who are serious first person shooter game fans will love "XXX." For the rest of us, summer is fleeting.
Let's get some sun.
