A Horrible Waste
Triple X is the type of film which everyone is stupider for having seen, which the world is at a loss for harboring, and which eats away at the integrity of film as a creative medium, as 16M Sulfuric Acid does to tissue paper. That anyone would willingly allow the creation of such a mindless, poorly-written truckload of intellectually bankrupt drivel is entirely beyond me. Shame on the writer for accepting money for falling asleep on his keyboard and calling it a script (as well as for soiling the good name of "The Vandals," by quoting "Anarchy Burger.") Shame on Vin Diesel for doing a decent film like Boiler Room, and then making "The Fast and the Furious" look like "Schindler's List," by making "XXX," all the while accepting the 10 million he demanded for the role. It was literally a pleasure to see a total of fifteen people in the entire theatre. It was downright satisfying to see two people leave within the first five minutes. Hopefully, word of mouth can spread on how awful this is, and we can just let the wretched thing writhe in pain, as it drowns in its own shame for deliberately poisoning so many perfectly good minds. If you appreciate the fact that your body produces energy for you to perform any function, including seeing movies, you will spare it the humiliation of having wasted all of those nutrients, which it went through lengthy chemical processes to digest, on seeing the cinematic equivalent of septic leakage, known as "XXX."
