Critics Consensus

xXx: Return of Xander Cage should satisfy fans of the first two installments, but its preponderance of set pieces can't quite make up for a tired storyline that fails to take the franchise -- or action fans -- anywhere new.

The plot is as flimsy as the garments on the beauties.

If it isn't a crime to chop up the beautiful fight choreography of Donnie Yen into unintelligible ribbons, well, it ought to be.

Rated: 2/5

Chicago Reader

This is only slightly less dumb and nonsensical than the previous films, but it teems with thrilling action sequences and rollicking stunt work from the middle-aged Diesel and martial artist Donnie Yen.

Film Frenzy

Hardcore porn for action junkies, xXx: Return of Xander Cage should also get a rise out of more casual viewers burned out on Oscar bait and looking for a mindless time at the movies.

Rated: 2.5/4

Gone With The Twins

Since the majority of the movie resembles a long, stylized music video, the DJ just might be the most important recruit of them all.

Rated: 1/10

It's an action film. Nothing more. Nothing less. Okay, maybe a little bit less.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

A better movie than Ice Cube's sequel but surprisingly not as fun, Return of Xander Cage is a fine, albeit forgettable and generic action movie that's good background noise.
