XXX - Triple X

Written by Michelle Mauriere
Published September 22, 2003

Triple X was said to be a good, cool movie. But I felt majorly bored watching it. Maybe it's just cause I'm not the Rambo type of movie fan. Some scenes were pretty cool, e.g. when the guy surfed down a bridge on an expensive typically red car. But in general this story had nothing for me, the characters were boring, the actors were boring, the whole thing was just boring. But for the coolness which hasn't hit me, but may hit others, it still gets a triple heart out of ten.

SYNOPSIS taken from Rotten Tomatoes

This amped action drama stars Vin Diesel as Xander (aka Triple X), a rebellious extreme sports star with a mission to defy authority and create anarchy. In the dramatic opening scene of the movie, Xander pulls an outrageous serious of stunts with the help of a band of similar-minded jocks, broadcasts the whole event live onto the Internet with a network of strategically placed digital cameras, and then avoids being captured by the squadron of police who pursue him. When Triple X is later taken into custody, Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson), a representative from a government agency, hires the chiseled athlete and turns him into a secret agent with a mission to travel to Prague and collapse a dangerous terrorist cell operated by Yorgi (Martin Csokas) and the seductive Yelena (Asia Argento). Triple X is quickly drawn into Yorgi's lair, a stunning chateau situated in the mountains that is equipped with every high-tech modern amenity imaginable, along with a sizeable team of extra-large Slav bodyguards, a laboratory staffed by top scientists, and an always-ready gaggle of gorgeous concubines. Non-stop stunts, pounding hard-core music, elaborate sets, and inventive costumes make this Rob Cohen-directed adrenaline overload a visually exciting, aurally engaging, highly entertaining success.

i'm gonna have to disagree with spammerboy ALI there,
xXx is a pretty good film, as long as you like brainless action movies. That's not my favourite type of movie, but every so often, i just wanna see some guy blowing lotsa shit up and getting the bird. It's a no-brainer, and as a no-brainer, xXx is good.
