I recently saw both movies and I must say that the original was DEFINITELY BETTER! Vin Diesel's character Xander is a bad boy thrillseeker who is "recruited" by Samuel L. Jackson's character to get info on a Russian terrorist group called Anarchy 99. During which, Xander ends up going from getting info to actually taking these guys on using many of the skating, snowboarding and brawling skills he already knew! Xander is actually a funny character at times, funnier than the Stone character that Ice Cube played in the second XXX. The plot, while paper thin, is a bit better than in the second film too. Plus, the stunts are a BIT more believable than in the second film. This is a good way to spend an hour and a half if you have that to waste. While I am more of an Ice Cube fan than Vin Diesel, Diesel's version is definitely the better film. I'd rent it or get it at a reduced price.Read full review
FIVE STARS?!?!!? You gotta be KIDDING me!!! right? Hey, remember this is the guy who loved the live action GI Joe movie, go figure... So the USA are sick of getting their agents captured all of the time, apparently they act too "agenty" and the bad guys can spot them a mile off, so somebody has a great idea. Recruit some bad boys and let them be agents, that way the evil foreigners will never figure them out. So along comes Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) an extreme sports athlete who loves his parachuting, snowboarding and other dangerous and illegal pursuits. He is "recruited" by Agent Gibbons (Sam Jackson) in the usual "work for the government and we will wipe your record away" kinda deal. As far as the rest of the plot goes, it's simple. Bad guys have a weapon and the good guys must infiltrate the gang and stop them from using said weapon. It's not Shakespeare, it's a Vin Diesel action flick. He blows stuff up while making wise cracks, grabbing the girl and saving the world along the way. You take your brain out before watching, it's as simple as that. There are some AMAZING stunts in this movie, and I mean AMAZING stunts, plus enough explosions to make Michael Bay jealous. If you want a non stop action movie, you really can't go wrong with this. It's like an American version of the James Bond movies, but without any subtlety at all. Fun, Fun, FUN!!!Read full review
