Advantages: High octane and highly explosive

Disadvantages: Could use more stunts and scenes

xXx is a whole new generation spy action film. Think Vin Deisel meets James Bond. It tells the story of hardcore adrenaline junkie and extreme sports enthusiast Xander Cage as he is forced to enter a terrorist group called Anarchy 99 by the US Government. Xander got the name "xXx" from the three X's tattooed on to the back of his neck.

The film starts off with a secret agent escaping from a group of thugs who are trying to kill him and retreive some vital information he has. He manages to relay this information to the CIA before he is killed. Augustus Gibbons (Samual L Jackson) decides they should "throw their own snake in to the snake pit". Xander Cage is first seen taking a Corvette from a Senator. He then does a crazy bridge stunt where he drives it off a bridge and parachutes to safety. Gibbons finds Cage and challenges him with a series of tests. Cage is then told to go and find a top secret weapon after infiltrating a terrorist group, Anarchy 99. He meets Yolana (Asia Argento) who leter on discovers he is an agent and she is so. The plot eventually thickens and all ends with a trully explosive yet happy ending as the less than unlikely hero saves the day.

An action packed, adrenaline filled film with high octane stunts and the nack for alot of partying.

This film could use more stunts in it and definetely more scenes. Overall a good film.

Summary: By this for any Vin Deisel fan
