THE MOVIE-makers should definitely have come up with a better title for this flick, as 'XXX' doesn't even begin to do it justice.
This film has a bit of a high-tech James Bond-type plot.
The hero of the story is Vin Diesel, who plays the thrill-seeking Xander Cage.
His friends nick-name him 'XXX' because of his love of extreme sports.
But Xander's added desire to break the law with very expensive cars gets him tied into an offer he could not refuse.
He's your standard adrenaline junkie, with no fear and a lousy attitude.
When the US Government Agent Augustus Gibbons, played by the outstanding Samuel L Jackson, "recruits" him to go on a mission, he's not exactly thrilled.
He has to gather information on an organization that may just be planning the destruction of the world, led by the nihilistic Yorgi.
Betting XXX can succeed where other conventional spies have failed, Gibbons sends him to enter this world of crime undetected, using his natural athletic prowess and a whole lot of attitude.
Enlisted for a dangerous covert mission, he must combat a clever, organized, and ruthless enemy far beyond the scope of his experience.
This is an fantastic flick, with some incredible stunts and wicked special effects.
Don't be put off by the title, just get this film and enjoy!
