Review of xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017) by Arun G — 16 Mar 2017

An actioner with invincible heroes, measly villains and unimaginative set-pieces. The +ves (yes, the few good ones!) - a) Donnie Yen and his fast-paced antics b) The cameo from Ice Cube at the end c) I have less nose-hair than before the movie started.

Now the -ves a) Vin Diesel is boring b) His team sucks c) Toni Collette for a villain? Jeez, that's just too many bad 'F&F' vibes d) Everything else (even the OST isn't great this time around).

Padukone is just wasted in an inconsequential role just as Tony Jaa, Ruby Rose and the rest of 'em.
