Review of xXx (2002) by Jason J — 12 Nov 2009

Gave it another look, and man alive, it's all so extreme it just makes me cringe. They manage to have him work his way through all the sports in the X-Games in the course of 2 hours, thank God they were able to work in that snow-boarding sequence, eh?

I like Vin Diesel well enough, but him cast as this utterly resourceful super-spy is stretching my abilities to suspend disbelief just a little too thin, sorry folks. Asia Argento is pretty sultry as always, but that's probably her reading the newspaper as well, so it's probably not much of a performance, is it?

Has a few good moments, but otherwise isn't all that compelling.

Rental at best.
