This movie ends up being cheesier than the first 2 (not in a good way) despite the first 2 being dated in their own ways. The movie builds to a confrontation with 2 martial artists only for them to end up being gun-wielding sidekicks halfway into the movie. Woman were written as sex objects to fawn over Vin Diesel despite vin diesel saying nothing funny or witty. The one-liners and attempts at witty banter were groan-inducing. it's corny, unfunny and lazily written and it makes the 'Baywatch' movie look like 'There will be blood' in comparison. Don't expect much depth to plots, characters and/or dialogue and if you are a fan of any of the actors involved, be prepared for them to seem under-utilised (vin Diesel aside). In that sense, this film does what it does well.

So all-in-all some madcap action, ideal if you're drunk, distracted, enjoy shouting at the TV or just want to switch your brain off and see some impossible stunts. In particular, Jaa and Yen have starred in some brilliantly-written martial arts films, so it is strange seeing them playing characters with all the depth of a papercut. With all the boat/plane/bike/rocket/car/space-hopper (again, I might have invented some of those) you feel the stunts and dramatics detract from what these stars can bring to a film. They don't need the gimmicks as they have the ability to make a simple fight-scene look fantastic when you take the distractions away. Realistically XXX is all about being too much and it is for the cast they use - if you want a character to deliver a spinning, back-flip, head-kick from a motorbike you really don't need a Donnie Yen or Tony Jaa to do this.

If you like high-intensity, high-speed action scenes (and don't mind some of them being light-sabre-nipples silly) then this film will deliver hard, repeatedly and at times bizarrely, with crisp camera work and decent backing tracks. The action is well-shot, all-out and - at times - as gimmicky as it gets. There is an all-star cast, some of the best martial-arts stars with plenty more 5-star films left in them. At times the actors manage this well enough, at other times they realise what they're being made to say and deliver lines like a punch-drunk Rocky Balboa.Īll that said, this film was not made to change lives or trigger any great emotional response, it exists for the action scenes, the explosions and the magic punching gloves.

It seems unfair to credit this with a plot rather than a series of excuses to stitch some action scenes together and the dialogue appears to have been written by a distracted 13-year old (definitely male, expect all female characters to be highly sexually charged,) in a 15-minute bus journey to pitch the film. Whenever you let your guard down and start to think that something that almost makes sense will happen, there will be magic gloves that make you punch faster, transforming aqua-bikes used to escape an army or a fight against a man with light-sabre nipples (I made one of those up).
