What to Know

Critics Consensus

It has an endearing lack of seriousness, and Vin Diesel has more than enough muscle for the starring role, but ultimately, XXX is a missed opportunity to breathe new life into the spy thriller genre.

Vin Diesel, every teen's fantasy action hero. Go to Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out 06/24/2006
If Dubya and Dick Cheney had made their very own post-9/11 patriotic propaganda movie for the teens they need as globalisation fodder, then this would be it. Go to Full Review Adam Smith Empire Magazine 03/02/2003

Sporadically entertaining, this is nevertheless seriously hampered by a very choppy screenplay. Go to Full Review Alan Jones Radio Times 03/16/2024
3/5
Diesel doesn't have 007's deft control of a one-liner and overall the film lacks wit but the stunts are overblown and outrageous enough to produce the requisite adrenaline-pumping thrills. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 04/04/2023

Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 11 The worldwide gross is $277,400,000.00 over a budget of $88,300,000.00. Funny and original. See more Jason D @RT77557691 Apr 24 I live for this shit. See more P S @RT68035998 Nov 30 Action scenes were over the top ridiculous. A little too cheesy for my taste. See more Dom T @RT22016253 Sep 7 Pretty decent action movie See more Evan S. @ChowVEv Aug 6 One of the best movies for that year. Great Actor See more Soggy B @RT46491361 Jul 12 I can safely say, that this is one of the most stupid movies I have ever saw. It is even dumber than the whole Fast and Furious franchise. If you are 16 years old or older and still consider this monstrosity worth watching, check you head. See more Read all reviews
