This movie is awesome! OK, imagine this, OK, a stuntman, arrested and called into the FBI to defuse a bomb and end a nuclear crisis on a global scale; I for one think that THAT plot, had Ian Flemming come up with it first (which, who knows, could've been the story on his mind before he left), would've been a brilliant Bond movie plot. This version fairly amazed me, though, in a sense that all the deleted scenes from the other version were, unfortunately, added to the film, but brilliantly placed. Thus, giving the second disc a purpose, with special features such as 'The Death Of Xander Cage,' a somewhat sorry (but fullfilling) explanation to the sad no-show of Vin Diesel in X2: State Of The Union, and also includes the music video to 'Adrenaline,' the end credits sequence... without the end credits (which still confuses me, too), and a lot more! IT WAS AWESOME!!!

"XXX" with Vin Diesel and Asia Argento is extreme pop culture fun for the new millenium. While it might not be the greatest plot or most believable storyline, its still fun.
The movie opens with an iconic superspy out of his element in the new world of extreme rock and Euro hardcore. The director makes it clear that a new kind of spy is needed for some of the more clandestine assignments.
The stunts and scenarios are culled from every extreme sport and played with seriousness. Laughable at some points, its still a lot of fun.
Vin plays the rogue turned government agent well, and I think it was a good role for him.
The movie is fun and worth a watch.

Purchased this,wasted money. If your gonna release high def movies(sony),shouldn't they be high def? There is way too much grain on this disc and when there isn't the picture is 'soft'. When I say soft I mean not much details, especially in 'face' shots(don't get me wrong there are some bright spots on the disc). Love the high def format alot but studios need to make sure we are getting just that on every release and not rush these things to market just to make a quick profit(the format is about the 'DETAILS'). If you do it right the 1st time you'll find us coming back for more without hestitation, without having to go to sights like highdefdigest reading reviews to make sure the video quality is OK.

After watching the Chronicles of Riddick, I checked for other Vin Diesel films at Netflix and came accross this movie. As I watched it, I realized the James Bond Franchise had been taken hostage and I was watching a Bond film, Extreme Sports Edition. Besides Diesel as Bond, there is also a M and a nerdy Q (the gadget master).
As Bond films go, it is more on the level of "Never Say Never Again" and it is not as slick as the Albert Broccoli franchise films. Compared to Never Say Never, Diesel is no Sean Connery and, sadly, the babe is no Kim Basinger. But still, if you are looking for a save the world Bond type action adventure film with pretty good stunts, you could watch far worse than this movie.

Vin Diesel, the Jean-Claude Van Damme of our time, stars as Xander Cage, an underground extreme sports star who apparently lost all his hair in a tragic skydiving accident. The NSA shanghais Xander to help them bust up a dangerous group of anarchists - and what an amazingly well-organized and thorough group of anarchists they are - by using his skills at pulling the most extremely off da heezy-fo-sheezy stunts ever, bi-atch. Samuel L. Jackson co-stars as Xander's cantankerous boss, made cantankerous, we can assume, by the fact that one side of his face is melted (the result, no doubt, of a mishap while he and his nutty friends were filming a Diet Coke and Mentos stunt for YouTube.)
The film is a perfect fit for Mike's RiffTrax style, what with his deep, deep roots in the underground sports community (once, when he was nine years old, he rode his bike right over a milk carton.)
