*POSSIBLE SPOILERS*
XXX: Return of Xander Cage was probably one of the poorest produced movies I’ve ever watched.
For those who are fans totally unrealistic action films, I would encourage you to watch this film.
For those of you who are not a fan of super fake action sequences, terrible dialogue and excessive tattoos, however, I encourage to stay away from this film and just go watch “La La Land” or “Hidden Figures”.
In my opinion, this film went downhill [literally and figuratively] right from the beginning as Xander Cage, or Mr. Fast and Furious himself, Vin Diesel, proceeded to longboard and ski down a snowless, rock and tree covered, mountain in order to bring the great people of whatever foreign country he was in at the time, their beloved soccer game on TV.
After that, I knew this movie was going to be a rough one to sit through and for the next hour it certainly was.
Now, I usually don’t doze off in the movie theaters while watching a film, but I have to admit, this film definitely got me close to that point.
Instead of drawing this review out to some excessive amount, like that movie was, I am just going to sum it all up right here for you movie buffs.
Terrible acting, not so entertaining plotline and too many explosions and fake action sequences, that’s XXX: Return of Xander Cage in a nutshell.
I am going to have to rate this movie a solid 2 out 5 stars. One star for all the moments I laughed at how unrealistic it was, and a second star just because they brought back the beautiful purple GTO from the first XXX film.
