Vin Diesel stars as former extreme sports athlete Xander "XXX" Cage, notorious for his death-defying public stunts. Betting he can succeed where other conventional spies have failed, Xander is recruited by NSA Agent Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) to become a different kind of undercover agent. Enlisted for a dangerous covert mission, he must use all his extreme skills to combat a clever, organized, and ruthless enemy far beyond the scope of his experience.

Critics Consensus

It has an endearing lack of seriousness, and Vin Diesel has more than enough muscle for the starring role, but ultimately, XXX is a missed opportunity to breathe new life into the spy thriller genre.

Vin Diesel, every teen's fantasy action hero.

If Dubya and Dick Cheney had made their very own post-9/11 patriotic propaganda movie for the teens they need as globalisation fodder, then this would be it.

3/5

Sporadically entertaining, this is nevertheless seriously hampered by a very choppy screenplay.

3/5

Diesel doesn't have 007's deft control of a one-liner and overall the film lacks wit but the stunts are overblown and outrageous enough to produce the requisite adrenaline-pumping thrills.

Along with a new breed of secret agent, xXx could have benefited from a new breed of secret agent plotline.

3/10

For every action sequence, there are shots dedicated to formulaic rips of the already tired spy subgenre.

I can safely say, that this is one of the most stupid movies I have ever saw. It is even dumber than the whole Fast and Furious franchise. If you are 16 years old or older and still consider this monstrosity worth watching, check you head.

Filme legal, o roteiro é legalzinho, as cenas são legais, a história é legalzinho, o elenco é bacana, e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacanas, o filme tem cenas de ação legais, como a cena do Vin Diesel se jogando do seu carro em movimento e caindo de paraquedas na parte de trás do carro de seus amigos, e teve outras cenas legais que contribuíram para o filme ser legal, com tudo isso, eu recomendo esse filme.
