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

Evan S. One of the best movies for that year. Great Actor Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Soggy B 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review thiago s Filme legal, o roteiro é legalzinho, as cenas são legais, a história é legalzinho, o elenco é bacana, e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacanas, o filme tem cenas de ação legais, como a cena do Vin Diesel se jogando do seu carro em movimento e caindo de paraquedas na parte de trás do carro de seus amigos, e teve outras cenas legais que contribuíram para o filme ser legal, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/25/25 Full Review John M Just a dumb fun movie, truly one of the movies of all time Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
