Not Great But Better Than The Second XXX Film!
I recently saw both movies and I must say that the original was DEFINITELY BETTER!Vin Diesel's character Xander is a bad boy thrillseeker who is "recruited" by Samuel L. Jackson's character to get info on a Russian terrorist group called Anarchy 99.During which, Xander ends up going from getting info to actually taking these guys on using many of the skating, snowboarding and brawling skills he already knew! Xander is actually a funny character at times, funnier than the Stone character that Ice Cube played in the second XXX.The plot, while paper thin, is a bit better than in the second film too. Plus, the stunts are a BIT more believable than in the second film.This is a good way to spend an hour and a half if you have that to waste. While I am more of an Ice Cube fan than Vin Diesel, Diesel's version is definitely the better film. I'd rent it or get it at a reduced price.
