Review of xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017) by Omar L — 30 Dec 2018
Was there ever a time when Extreme Sports was ever a draw for action fans? The only time I can think of when it sort of worked was the original Point Break. The first xXx was cashing in on a nonexistent desire to see an extreme sports her action star, xXx: State of the Union didn't care about any of that, and now, 16 years after the first one, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage banks on a nonexistent nostalgia.
Make no mistake, there are some pretty cool shots (mixed in with horrendous CGI), but the obvious money grab (by not only Hollywood, but Shanghai as well) makes the movie less necessary than it ever needed to be.
