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.

'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' roars onto the screen with high-octane action sequences that promise adrenaline-pumping entertainment. However, where it excels in delivering heart-racing stunts and explosive scenes, it falters in crafting a compelling narrative. The film leans heavily on its action-packed moments, often at the expense of a coherent or engaging storyline. Vin Diesel's return as Xander Cage brings charisma to the screen, but the lack of depth in character development and plot hinder the overall impact. Recommended for action enthusiasts seeking pure adrenaline rushes, but not for those craving a well-rounded storyline.

This is my favourite Xander Cage movie, I love Vin Diesel always, Toni Collette and Ruby Rose playing against each other was a treat for Aussies - and Ruby's and Deepika's stunts were amazing! The cast of characters were eclectic, eccentric, hilarious and intense. Perfect for a light hearted and entertaining action flick. Keep them coming! 💖

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.

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

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