Dangerous, dirty, tattooed, uncivilized! Your kind of people!
Trying to send undercover agents into a terrorist group named Anarchy 99 has gotten them all killed. The National Security Agency realizes that the Anarchy 99 group can instantly recognize the type of people that they are sending in to infiltrate the group. They are looking for the perfect agent that no one will recognize as an agent. Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) is an action seeking individual who thrives on extreme sports and crazy stunts. He steals a new corvette from Senator Hotchkiss, a California State Senator. He wires it with cameras and films himself verbally blasting the senator for actions trying to block video games and films his planned stunt. He drives the corvette off of a bride over a gorge as he parachutes out of the convertible.Xander gets arrested in a raid on his home and he is shot with a tranquilizer gun. He wakes up in a diner setting at a counter. He notices that people are acting strangely and the waitress is very nervous. Men try to rob the diner and he stops them as one man stands up clapping. He is Agent Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) and he tells Xander that he just passed the first test.This is a high action movie from start to finish. The government is looking for the best of the best and the winner either gets to volunteer for undercover work or spend years in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. Xander joins the program against his will.....This movie just rocks with action and adventure. It is a movie made for just entertainment sake and I enjoyed it for just that reason. This movie just takes characters like James Bond to a new level of action but it doesn't have a deep plot. Here we have a guy who is intelligent, tough, and athletic and can fight. They use all of his abilities in this movie to the max.I still like the James Bond movies and they have really better stories and plots than this movie but for shear entertainment this movie is still enjoyable. I liked this film and I recommend it to you if you like action movies.
