Movie Review: Triple X

**Submitted by Kevin

"The things I'm gonna do for my country." Was the quote by Vin Diesel (real name Mark Vincent) that caught everyone's attention in xXx (Triple X) plays Xander, a trill-seeking extremist that will do anything for a rush.  Xander ends up being asked by Samuel L. Jackson who plays Agent Gibbons of the NSA, to infiltrate a major Russian crime ring.  Xander denies at first but then Gibbons says its either the job or prison.  Xander takes up the assignment and so begins the "New breed of secret agent."

This movie is jam packed with non-stop action.  If you're an action junky then this is the movie for you.  Diesel's lines aren't exactly the best in movies or maybe he just sucks at saying them, but in any case he is better when he is performing unrealistic stunts, which you have to just laugh at. 

Score

Aside from the crappy lines and the fake stunts the movie is still very funny and full of action.  I would recommend this to anyone that likes chases, explosions, guns, motorcycles, and amazing stunts.  On the other hand, if you girlfriend wants to see it make sure she knows it is an action movie and that Diesel only takes off his shirt 2-3 times.
