- xXx: Return of Xander Cage should satisfy fans of the first two installments, but its preponderance of set pieces can't quite make up for a tired storyline that fails to take the franchise -- or action fans -- anywhere new.

It’s been 15 years since we last saw Vin Diesel in xXx as thrillseeker/secret agent/big-coat-wearer Xander Cage and, since then, the series has matured very little. xXx: Return of Xander Cage lobs out one ludicrous set piece after another, giving you very little time to think about the nonsense you’re seeing onscreen, which is a good thing because the film seems like it was written by a child.
The thing is: that child is best friends with Vin Diesel, so it’s kind of okay.
According to 2005 sequel xXx: State of the Union, Xander Cage was killed in an explosive attack, but in this sort-of threequel, he is very much alive, with no real explanation as to why. The way we know that Xander Cage is alive is because he’s reintroduced to us in the film by jumping off of a dangerously high satellite pylon and skiing down a jungle, which is something dead people very rarely do. Despite being up to his old death-defying tricks, Cage is no longer an agent-for-hire and instead spends his days watching football in the slums of Brazil.
You probably already know whether or not you should go see xXx: Return of Xander Cage - it depends on your willingness to accept entirely farcical and nonsensical plotlines, dialogue and situations just because they feature the inhumanly charismatic Vin Diesel. It’s an utterly ridiculous ride that doesn’t dare take itself seriously, nor hang around...

okay
xXx: Return of Xander Cage is entirely ridiculous but a lot of stupid fun.

Jan 21, 2017 · Xander Cage returns to the big screen in the action sequel film XXX: Return of Xander Cage. Director D. J. Caruso’s movie sees the return of the series’ original star (Vin Diesel) in another hair-raising adventure to save the world as its over-the-top action is dully noted can be somewhat fun and its diverse cast is likeable.
Parents need to know that xXx: Return of Xander Cage is the third movie in the XXX series, following XXX (2002) and XXX: State of the Union (2005) -- and it's just as mindlessly outrageous as the first two. Expect tons of fighting, martial arts, shooting, chases, explosions, and over-the-top… Videos and Photos. xXx: Return of Xander Cage.
