XXX: State of the Union
Published Sunday, May 01, 2005 by The Movie Club | E-mail this post
Will you pay $9.50 to watch explosive cars, explosive girls, explosive trains and explosive buildings? The answer is “Yes”. Judging by box office trends, this will be a seller.
The US President is in danger. (Yes, he is always in danger.) A dangerous military group led by William Dafoe (always the bad guy, last seen in Spiderman) is conspiring to overthrow the government. Stoned-faced agent Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) recruits his new XXX (Ice Cube), and (you know it) they save the world.
Cliché cliché cliché. Cliché characters, cliché storyline, cliché lines and even a cliché ‘twist’. You know the joke even beyond the person speaks, that’s how bad it is. Ice Cube replaces Vin Disel as the XXX. You really wonder, how’s next?
Many laughable scenes, such as XXX walking in slow motion carrying a machine guns with explosive flames behind. Boo. But… the truth is, the movie is still really quite entertaining and funny in a way.
XXX - Big Budget, Action Movie. Leave home without your brain.
