The Story:
When Augustus Gibbons (Jackson) is killed, the government seeks out Xander Cage (Diesel) to retrieve 'Pandora's Box'. The problem, he's not the only one looking for the device, and Cage will be going head to head with Xiang (Yen) to retrieve the box and all the secrets it holds. Does Xander still have what it takes to be part of the xXx program?
What?
You weren't clamoring for a sequel 15 years after the original xXx movie?
Well, it's only been 12, if you count the sequel that Diesel had no part of, but had Ice Cube as the lead agent.
Now if you've seen either, or both of those, then you know exactly what you're going to see here, and you shouldn't walk away disappointed.
Unless you disliked either, or both of those, but then, why would you be renting this one? In the hopes it got better with age?
Pfft.
The stunts are fun. The action is good.
I had no problem with this movie at all.
While it won't generate on my best of the year list, it was enjoyable and I would watch it again downt he road.
I'll take popcorn movies like this nearly any day of the week.
Final Grade: B-
