xXx

 

Yeah, that's right. Triple X, baby. Not only an amazing action movie but it also has Vin Damn Diesel in it.

This movie is a 2002 American action film directed by Rob Cohen with Vin Diesel starring as Xander Cage. A cocky, rebellious, extreme sports-loving, forced spy for the National Security Agency by Samuel L. Jackson's burned, bad ass character; Augustus Gibbons.

It also features Asia Argento, Marton Csokas and a brief but always remembered appearance by Danny Trejo.

Cage is sent in to infiltraite a group of potential terrorists in Central Europe. Although financially successful, it received mixed reviews, but was allowed to make a sequal known as xXx: State of the Union.  
After the initial plot enterance in the beginning with a man killed at a concert by Anarchy 99. I love the entereance of Vin's character as he steals a California state senators car to teach him a lesson on his imorale reasoning. If there is one thing that Vin doesn't lack when it comes to his movies, it's his absolute cry for a perfect action sequence.

After being left in Columbia from a cargo plane to identify a drug cartel, Cage is given two choices: work for Gibbons or serve a pretty lengthy scentence in a federal penetentury. Against his better wishes he chooses to work for Gibbons and heads to the Czech Republic to find out more about Anarchy 99. Their leader, Yorgi, is an ex-Soviet soldier who has a grudge against authority and society in general. Xander finds himself drawn to Yorgi's girlfriend Yelena, and he negotiates a political asylum for her in the United States. It wouldn't be a good Diesel movie if there wasn't a sexy girl in there somewhere.

Cage is briefly captured before the Czech police arrive, blowing up the mansion. In the ensuing chaos, Yorgi escapes with his right-hand man, Kirill, an expert sniper.

Well, I won't spoil the whole movie for you but obviously Cage survives and Gibbons informs him that he is needed for another project. He cockily ignores him and goes for a swim in the oceans off the coast of Bora Bora with Yelena.

The charming mixture of sarcasm, action, heat, Cage's unorthodox and criminal-like way of doing things (see the club scene near the beginning of his infiltry into Anarchy 99) and all around sexiness of the characters really makes this movie appealing and in all honesty I don't know why someone wouldn't want to watch it. Not to mention the scenery and landscaping. -kisses fingers- Bella!

I love the scene where Cage is on a plane, looking over the details of his mission when a teenage boy comes along and thinks that he is playing a video game. He connects with the boy in a special way, playing as though it really is a video game and that he only gets one shot. In his voice you can tell that he might even be a little scared. He's used to extreme sport stunts but nothing like this. The boy asks Cage what he gets out of playing. You know, if he wins. Cage says he doesn't know and the boy turns to him and says, "I know. He gets to be a hero." and I think those words really touch Cage and give him some confidence in what he was about to do.

I recommend the movie for girls and guys, although I am sure it appeals more to men as it does have an extreme amount of action and of course the beautiful, sexy women. Vin Diesel, however, is enough of a reason for me to see this movie as a female despite my love for really good action films.

Go ahead, scar face, check out Netflix and put it on with some soda and popcorn at your side. You won't be disappointed, and well.. you'll get the meaning as to why I called you 'scar face', haha.
