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

Steven N What a dumb movie. This is a great movie to have in the background while you’re doing something else important like sleeping or napping. Completely predictable movie that I feel like I’ve watched 19 times before. Writing is poor, acting is poor, plot is poor. Not a big fan. Plus, Samuel L Jackson being a step ahead for everything is so dumb. Everyone should have died in the first 12 min to make this movie remotely realistic. I hated every second of it Also their kissing is very weird. Can’t get over that. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Rosana B Um bom filme, a primeira metade mais que a segunda, um misto de Velozes e Furiosos da espionagem, algumas boas pitadas de comicidade, filmes de ação não são meu forte, e geralmente contem testosterona em excesso, e as parcas mulheres exaltadas por sua sensualidade, dispenso… Vin Diesel fez muitas de suas próprias acrobacias, ótima cenas de ação, inegável, a um preço elevando e um de seus dubles morreu durante uma das acrobacias, triste… Regular... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/25 Full Review David D VD is obviously beginning to learn to act here, something he picks up with gusto...for the archtype he plays. The movie is a little clunky in places, but it has some wonderful moments. Within the genre, its a journeyman entry. Yeah, its a evening burning. Worth a watch on a damp night. One last thing. This film didn't need an intimacy coach .It needed a few departing HS students with some practical kissing experience to guide the actors and actresses in kissing 101. They've obviously forgotten. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review None O Mindless entertainment. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
