Vin Diesel. I thought he was great in BOILER ROOM. I remember thinking, he's gonna be a huge star, a great actor. But then he goes on and does THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS and this film, XXX. Neither films which really required acting talent on its part. So we're presented with XXX, a supposed new breed of secret agent. Is it as good as the JAMES BOND franchise? Of course not. Is the story interesting? Not really. Are there plenty of action scenes to keep one entertained? Well, yeah. But aren't there a hundred movies just like it? Of course.
This film is pretty bad, even for an action film. It has absolutely nothing on James Bond. Quite honestly, it's one of the worst Bond knock-offs created. Now I like Vin Diesel and think he can still do good movies, but with movies like this and the inevitable XXX sequel... dear no. Go see any JAMES BOND movie or THE BOURNE IDENTITY rather than this recycled garbage.
SCORE: 5 out of 10 (average)
