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.

Nell Minow Common Sense Media Vin Diesel, every teen's fantasy action hero. Rated: 4/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out 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. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Adam Smith Empire Magazine Sporadically entertaining, this is nevertheless seriously hampered by a very choppy screenplay. Rated: 3/5 Mar 2, 2003 Full Review Alan Jones Radio Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Along with a new breed of secret agent, xXx could have benefited from a new breed of secret agent plotline. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 4, 2023 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins For every action sequence, there are shots dedicated to formulaic rips of the already tired spy subgenre. Rated: 3/10 Nov 9, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Megan S Although XXX really doesn't have anything of its own. The movie is quite solid and a fun watch. Forget your troubles in the world for the next 2 hours and just drop some popcorn and grab some snacks because this movie will leave you wanting more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/12/24 Full Review Ricardo B El james bond de los milenials Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/24 Full Review Audience Member Over 20 years old and still one of my favorite summer flicks Xander Cage is an extreme sports athlete internet sensation; he’s done all kinds of crazy stunts from surfing to free falling from cars to skateboarding Gibbons, head of an NSA spy agency recruits him to infiltrate a group called Anarchy 99 specializing in black arms dealings Xander is no typical secret agent as he prefers to do things a bit more on the hip side but he’s equipped with some savvy spy gear to find out this group’s real intentions involving chemical weapons He also has help from Yelena, girlfriend of Yorgi operating the whole thing Can Xander stop him from creating World War III killing billions? This was following Vin Diesel's success after Fast & Furious 1, thankfully it paved the rest of his career This was the same summer as ‘Bourne Identity’ making secret agents cool but with an extreme youthful twist My guess is this was a precursor to Samuel L. Jackson's role as Nick Fury for the MCU The action and stunts are a lot of fun, this popularized the use of extreme sports and stunts in action movies and inspired many imitators A very badass soundtrack too particularly the song Adrenaline by Gavin Rossdale Raises the adrenaline itself even higher thanks to director Rob Cohen I’m glad the movie gained a cult following despite mixed reviews and lead to 2 sequels What a time capsule too; full of references to popular culture at the time, including fashion, music, and technology A very easy watch with cool action, wonderful exotic locations, and a fun performance by Diesel himself Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/10/23 Full Review Joshua T XXX is definitely a movie if you're wanting action and seeing a bunch of Van Diesel. definitely got a thrilling storyline to it and some interesting plot twist that I didn't expect. definitely I think one of Vin Diesel's better roles in a movie outside of pacifier which is also another good movie of his so if you like Vin Diesel this is a great flip to watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun ridiculous action movie that’s over the top Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/12/22 Full Review Audience Member The worst 02 hours: and 04 minutes ever!!!!!!!!! Vin Diesel, and Samuel Leroy Jackson didn't even try!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
