This is a highly overrated action movie. It stars the Vin Diesel (Chronicles of Riddick) before he learned how to act. His character, Xander Cage is an extreme sports athlete mogul, turned underground bad boy via the World Wide Web. He runs into trouble after stealing a Senators car and using it to base jump a ravine.
Enter good actor. Samual L. Jackson (Sphere) wins every scene he is in, and saves the movie from being a complete piece of crap. He plays an NSA agent assigned to crack certain international crime organizations (Which is a little strange, since the NSA is a home surveillance entity). He has XXX arrested and put through a series of tests, and finally approves him as a secret agent to crack a Russian Anarchy group in Prague.
What follows is a sequence of sexual encounters at the Russian base, as well as various far-fetched action sequences which have nothing to do with real life. Eventually, XXX finds himself fighting through Russians that want to kill off cities using chemical warheads. This movie sucks, but Samual L. Jackson is amazing. Severe 1.
