Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (3 ):
Kids say (6 ):

If you're looking for a movie with a thoughtful plot or deep characters, you'll be sorely disappointed. But Rob Cohen's XXX isn't about that -- it's about gadgets, explosions, and male fantasy. Showy stunts recall the director's previous film, The Fast and the Furious, with memorable moments including a snowboard race with an avalanche that would rival that of Scrat's at the beginning of Ice Age. It's too bad that the head villain pales in comparison. He's just a generic Russian with a love of vodka, an evil plan, a big mouth, and a girlfriend who's good for him. But XXX is clearly designed to be popcorn fluff, and to that end, Diesel is just the man for the part, delivering the lines and action with attitude to spare.
