xXx: The Return of Xander Cage movie review


Vin Diesel comes back as Xander Cage in the latest installment of xXx entitled "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage" now showing in cinemas. Thank you Jam 88.3 and Columbia Pictures for the special movie screening invite at IMAX theater.
When the world knows he is already dead, Xander Cage surfaces and takes on a mission with a new team that will save everyone from control of greed and terror. On assignment, he meets another members of the xXx program and teaming up with them would be a tough job -- as what his handles, Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson), wants them to do.
The movie is still as action-packed from the previous installments with elements that seem very familiar to everyone. Some stunts are a surprise and never before seen I think. However, I got some issues on some continuity in scenes so I find it odd that they have passed it to the last edit. I guess Vin Diesel has enjoyed doing this a lot and trying to squeeze in some jokes but I think he is better with the serious tone. Ruby Rose and Deepika Padukone are really serious bad-ass ladies and ready to pull the trigger on anyone.
If this movie could have been more hi-tech in surveillance equipment and all, Nina Dobrev would be another serious genius in the movie. Making her a sweet looking nerd.
There is a very special appearance of Miss Universe 2015 first runner-up, Miss Colombia herself at the beginning of the movie. The role might have been more interesting when they got her as the leading lady and they come to the Philippines (oops spoiler!) to shoot the movie.

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is also available in 3D while I suggest you can be all right to watch it in 2D. Directed by DJ Caruso. Also starring Donnie Yen, Kris Wu, Tony Jaa, Toni Collette, Rory McCann and a special comeback by Ice Cube.
