xXx (Theatrical Release USA 2002)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.1|5.0 Starsìììì

xXx—one of the best 2002 action flicks—stars Vin Diesel in one of his top performances. The movie did well at box office and created two sequels, xXx State of the Union and xXx The Return of Xander Cage, with a 2017 announcement of a fourth sequel. There are some very good, original stunts that mark this film as outstanding; some nudity places it more in the late teen to adult range. It’s a quality action film, well worth watching.
