The worst script and acting in a long, long, long time!!!
I saw this because I had heard it was good. I mean it did really well at the Box-Office, so I figured, this cant be bad. Thought it would be a high-octane Bond movie. But to even mention Bond here would make every Bond ever, puke. (including Timothy Dalton). The way this movie starts says it all. Vin steals a Car and runs it off a bridge, then jumps out and parachutes down before gravity takes over. Sounds cool doesn't it, but hold on, as he is driving the car he is looking into a camcorder he has with him, broadcasting his adventure over the airways, and amidst the banter he actually says "you have entered the Zander Zone". What the ...!!! And it does not get better after that. For the next 45-50 minutes I sat there and heard cheesy line after cheesy line until I just got feed up and turned it off. Admittedly I did not see the entire film, though I seriuously doubt it got any better. The Fast and the Furious was a decent movie over all it had its problems but it lacked the cheesy lines. And though XXX had Samuel L. to try and give it some credibilty, even his role was far under par for him. Though he did not have a line as bad as the "they called me mr. glass" banter that ended Unbreakable, his performance was still horrible. When they make XXX 2, they should just make it a silent film, then it might be entertaining because you would not have to listen to a ... script. Everyone involved with that script should look for a new career because that was horrible. Over all I would not wish my worst enemy would have to sit through this film. Personally I would rather check out the new Steven Segal flick, though he is the worst actor ever born, he does not try the cheesy line bit.
