A 21st Century James Bond!
Whoa! If you want action, this is the place to find it! Vin Diesel plays a 21st Century James Bond!XXX is actually Xavier Cage, a thrill seeker who gets his kicks doing stunts for an underground website. He lives his life on the wild side, fighting for small causes like the right to watch MTV and play video games. Never, in a million years, does he imagine that he'll be enlisted in a fight to save the world!Samuel Jackson portrays a United States government agent who has lost several operatives to a group of hardcore zealots out to free the world from government rule. He has decided that the government should send in a new type of operative - one that the world has never seen and therefore won't be detected as easily. So he kidnaps several mercenaries and thrill-seekers and puts them to the test. Only one passes with flying colors: XXX.Xavier is sent to Czechoslovakia to infiltrate a group called Anarchy '99. The deal is: supply the US government with information about the group and Xavier can return to the US, no questions asked. But once Xavier discovers the true nature of Anarchy '99's plan, he finds a cause worthy enough to continue fighting for. What ensues is an action-packed, Bond-esque adventure. The stunts are fabulous. The action well makes up for the lack of original storyline. I found this movie to be a pure adrenaline rush from start to finish. Well done!
