The latest xXx movie is a throwback to olden times. And while I usually enjoy such movies (e.g. The Expendables, and most Schwarzenegger movies) I found this one a bit over the top. I get it – Xander Cage is cool, is daring, loves it when things get messy (turbulent) – but in the whole movie it is sort of like he keeps jumping into trouble (sometimes for no particular reason either but just coz it’s cool) and nothing happens to him. It’s like he’s invincible. I think I would have enjoyed the movie as a child and had more fun with the coolness; but as an adult I found myself constantly thinking “this is so unbelievable”. Most action movies are unbelievable, yes, but the trick is to not take it over the top so the viewer too realizes it’s a bit too much. <\/p>\n
That’s my 2fils on xXx 3 anyways. And that said I’ll definitely watch the sequel when it comes out (am sure one will). I liked the main Chinese guy (sorry too lazy to Google his name) – he was fun. And I also loved the green hair gun lady (Rose or something). She had attitude and was fun. :)<\/p>\n
