Product: xXx [VHS] (2002)
Rating: 2.0
It was better than staring out the window on a plane.
I can only describe this film with the same word I would describe the Fast and the Furious as well - "cheese".I'm a tough guy- stunt man, social advocate, party guy, now turned spy. I've uncovered secret plans of an elite enemy organization in Prague - the government is going to wait around just long enough to act so I can do my thing and stretch the movie out a bit.OK - suspending my disbelief with this hyperbolic story, I was still amazed at the absolute lack of talent on the part of Vin Diesel. This guy is hired for the way he looks and his scratchy voice - but he can't act worth a darn and he doesn't even make a convincing tough-guy.Besides the extreme one-dimensionality of the characters, the dialogue is actually painful to listen to as well. Thank god there is a minimum of it.The pacing is aweful for an action film - there are huge slow spots where they try to cram some "plot in". Hint to the producers - have the writers killed.I gave it it's second star because the action was very interesting, and because I saw it on a plane and it kept my mind off teh flight for an hour and a half.
