xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage is essentially Fast & Furious 7.5. How self-aware Vin Diesel is as a performer remains a mystery, but there’s no doubt that the guy is currently responsible for the biggest, dumbest, and funniest blockbusters coming out of Hollywood. However, it’s also absolutely hilarious, especially when it’s not trying to be funny. It’s a collection of empty calories and even emptier ideas. This threequel was designed to go well with Mountain Dew. So he assembles a team (it must have been so hard for Diesel to avoid describing the team as “family”, but the man knows to leave all of his thoughts on that theme to the Fast & Furious & Family franchise where it belongs) and then blows up a bunch a stuff for the sake of the world. He’ll only play by his own rules, and he’ll only work with his equally badass and tattooed buddies. He won’t work by the rules that stuffy government agent Toni Colette demands though. However, he eventually agrees because he is a hero, our hero even. Cage initially has no interest in working for the government given that he hates ‘the man’ and everything that ‘the man’ represents (hence the tattoos and attitude/tattoos with attitude). However, he must get called out of retirement when someone starts dropping satellites on the globe as an act of terrorism, even killing Cage’s old boss Samuel L. Essentially Xander Cage faked his death between xXx movies, and was enjoying a quiet life hanging out in South America doing extreme things and having so much sex you wouldn’t possibly believe it. There is technically a plot to this movie, it’s just so convoluted that it’s nearly impossible to explain. Clean on ‘roids Vin Diesel’s ego it’s pretty damn fun. However, for those who love irony and the multimillion dollar fever dreams of actor/producer/Mr.
It should come as no surprise to hear that xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is a deeply stupid movie completely devoid of artistic merit.
Diesel essentially willed it into existence after his cars-go-boom-boom series inexplicably became one of the most successful franchises in Hollywood history. Then when Diesel got tired of resurrecting Riddick between Fast & Furious movies he decided to give the world the gift of xXx 3 as writer/producer. The franchise was dead for 12 years, and the world was happy about it. Still, it made enough money off of people who needed something to watch with their Doritos to justify a sequel, but Diesel wanted too much money so Ice Cube replaced him and the flick bombed. The 2003 feature length Ax Body spray commercial attempted to turn Vin Diesel into the James Bond of the X-games era. I'm giving 6/10* to this Action Drama flick as i think with this script a better movie can't be made.XXx was never a good movie.
There is nothing bad in watching it at least once, after that you can decide yourself that you want to give it a repeat watch or not (I can't give it a Repeat Watch). Overall it is a Typical Action Drama Money Making and Box Office Friendly Entertainer which has appeal for limited i mean Mass audience. Direction is pretty Good, nothing impressive but less minuses helps it. Action stunts are something for which you can tolerate this film. Cinematography is Breathtaking, Visual Effects are Awesome, except couple of scenes which looks animated. Acting field had no potential so just forget about it, but want to mention Deepika here cause she has good enough screenspace in film which actually made me feel proud as an Indian. So many Twists and Surprises are there in the 2nd half which are predictable. Script has nothing new to offer so obviously Kick ass Action scenes, Stunts and Dialogues saves the film from being not a Crap.
xXx Return Of Xander Cage is a typical Action drama film, which entertains you but does not impress if you are looking for something different or new.
I have not seen previous films of this franchise so my might won't help you but that would a plus point because my views about film will be individual and fresh. XXx Return Of Xander Cage Review : Finished watching xXx in Hindi dubbed version so my review will be friendly to Indian audience may be.
