 Totally Brilliant!!!!!!!!!! May 4, 2005

Very good film about a man called Xander Cage (Vin Diesel)who is recruited for a secret agency by Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson). He must stop a ruthless Russian Crime Ring from releasing deadly gasses into the Chezch Republic, Prague. A very good film with lots of nice cars. I went to go and see xXx2 yesterday and it is brilliant with Darius Stone (Ice Cube) as the new xXx. Lots of nice cars in that too.

words cannot really explain how dreadful this film is, don't buy it, don't go and see the sequel - it will also be dreadful. Don't waste your hard earned money, buy lottery tickets instead - the chances of winning are considerably higher than than the chance you will actually enjoy it. Watching grass grow is more mentally stimulating. A film made by juvenile idiots, for pre-pubescant mini-metallers.

Being a Vin Diesel fan this film was a must see for me. After seeing "Pitch Black" and "The Fast and the Furious" I like his calm and cool with a hint of casual violence thrown in for good measure. He has the ability to carry the roles he plays with absolute confidence in himself without appearing over confident or false which would be easy to do in such roles as these.
Ok the film is full of hi-tec impossible gadgets and more extreme sports stunts than a stunt-man convention. But the gadgets fade into the background as the stunts and very credible acting talents of Vin Diesel and Samuel L Jackson as the good guys supported by Michael Roof as the Tech-Head (the one supplying the previously mentioned gadgets) and Marton Csokas and Asia Argento as the baddies make the easy to follow plot whip along at break-neck speed.
Vin Diesel plays the extreme sports expert and adrenaline junkie Xander Cage press-ganged into working for Samuel L Jackson (Agent Augustus Gibbons) to uncover a gang of ex-special forces soldiers of Russian Decent hell bent on plunging the world into anarchy and that is all there is to it really, but throw it to the mixing pot the very well done introduction of Xander base jumping from a car being driven off a bridge and the imaginative tests for the induction into Gibbons agency, add a dash of excellent metal music then bring to the boil with lots of motorcycle stunts snowboarding and a sprinkle of the normal explosions in slow motion and you get an easy to watch entertaining action film. No it is not the world's best action film, no it is not the cleverest plot, no there are no massive twists and yes there are some corny gags and a few predictable outcomes.
All in all a beer and nuts film that you can watch over and over because there are always little bits of stunts that you have missed or a corny line that makes you smile. So it doesn't bother me that others don't like this film, it has two of my top ten favourite actors (Diesel and Jackson) and it is amongst my collection of DVDs, so it gets an 4/5 from me just because it does what it says on the tin.

Is this a great film? No.
Is it very entertaining? Yes!Fantastic stunts, comic-book Russians, pretty decent CGI - great stuff. This 'Tony Hawk meets James Bond' totally outstrips Die Another Day...hooray!
