So i recently watched XXX: Return of Xander Cage and I'm here to bring you my review. So without further ado...
After coming out of self-imposed exile, daredevil operative Xander Cage (played by Vin Diesel) must race against time to recover a sinister weapon known as Pandora's Box, a device that controls every military satellite in the world. Recruiting a new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself entangled in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of government.
This is a very insane yet silly film to watch. In a film like this, you're not expecting a great story and you don't that. You more or less expect a pure action flick with a lot of scenes being utterly ridiculous due to the stunts performed and in the manner in which those stunts are performed. There are some really nice set pieces that will make you stare in amazement, but they just feel way to over the top and it just makes the film feel really stupid with the scenes being in there without any purpose. The performances are forced and the dialogue spoken just seems like a lot of gibberish and it's hard to see a guy like Donnie Yen who is so talented end up in a film like this where he is virtually given nothing to do throughout the entire film. There are a few funny moments in the film as well, but just everything else about the film, it's predictable and the humor is just too obviously noticeable. as mentioned before this film isn't meant to have a good story let alone a decent story, but this film has no story to it whatsoever and it honestly feels like the McGuffen (object the characters are striving to get) in the film is the same as is in every other film like this and really the film as a whole feels like it should've come out in the 90's. Overall this is just a sloppy film that has some great action scenes, but some pretty bad storytelling and dialogue just really make this film a terrible and dreadful piece of filmmaking. I give XXX: Return of Xander Cage a 1 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of XXX: Return of Xander Cage, what would you rate it and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
