Title: XXX
Year: 2002
Director: Rob Cohen
Plot: The director (Rob Cohen) and star (Vin Diesel) of the previous summer's hit The Fast and the Furious (2001) are reunited for this spy thriller billed as a next-generation James Bond adventure. Diesel stars as Xander Cage, a nihilist extreme sports enthusiast nicknamed "Triple X" because of a large tattoo covering his back and neck. Cage's illegal stunts and poor attitude (he's given to spouting dialogue such as, "Have you ever been punched in the face for talking too much?") land him in jail, where he's recruited/blackmailed into government service by the National Security Agency's Augustus Gibbons, who likes Cage for his skills and expendability. The new secret agent is assigned to infiltrate a Russian crime ring called Anarchy 99, whose access to biochemical weaponry is making the United States extremely nervous. With the help of some high-tech gadgets from weapons master Toby Lee Shavers (Michael Roof), Cage is able to make his way into Anarchy 99, where he targets the group's leader Yorgi (Marton Csokas) and falls for the organization's second-in-command, Yelena (Asia Argento). XXX (2002) is the first in a hoped-for franchise of sequels for the film's producer, Revolution Studios. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Body: Although no one can fly a motorcycle quite like Vin Diesel, perhaps the scriptwriters of future franchise XXX should have left the between-action yucks to Jackie Chan. Diesel's labored one-liners and put-downs ("Ice? You can chisel some off your heart--if you can find it") aren't the movie's worst ingredients, however; they're merely the cheese that tops the horrible acting, ridiculous plot developments, and laugh-out-loud serious dialogue. But when all are accompanied by a loud 'n' louder soundtrack and fire, fire, fire!, will anyone really care? Xander Cage (Diesel)--or, if you don't catch one of the 100 close-ups of his neck tattoo, XXX--is introduced as an apparent valet with an attitude, but he's actually an extreme-sports enthusiast who somehow rights the world's wrongs by riding bad men's fancy cars off bridges and videotaping his antics for an "underground" Web site. He's recruited to work for the NSA by Two-Face, er, Agent Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson, seemingly scarred just so X can crack up the audience by calling him "pretty boy"), and soon he's in Prague attempting to infiltrate a nonsensical group called Anarchy 99, whose members have defected from Mahther Rahssia and are now attempting to "implode the world." (At least they're funny, with their frequent references to "beetches" and subtitled dialogue such as "Catch him fast. Kill him slow!") Throughout, Diesel's stunts are many and properly loud and fiery; a few highlights include him angling a motorcycle in between a fence's barbed wires and holding on to the back of a leaping bike while shooting a very big gun. There's also a terrific avalanche scene in which X 'boards just in front of a thunderous onslaught of snow before grabbing onto a pole and getting temporarily buried. And though Diesel is saddled with some truly horrible lines (before one of the NSA's "tests," the camera zooms toward his face while he growls, "I live for this shit!"), he somehow manages to be eminently watchable and even--sigh--likable. So will Vin Diesel be Hollywood's next megastar? Sure--when hogs fly.

Body: This was a feel good, shoot em up film. It has some James Bond type moments that kept me entertained. I actually like Vin Diesel in this role. I ended up watching this again a few weeks ago and realized that I did like the Movie. I do not like XXX (2).
