Summary: Vin Diesel is no James Bond, and he doesn't want to be. That's why "XXX" announced Diesel as the adrenalin-junkie Bond of the PlayStation generation, copying the Bond formula so shamelessly that this action-packed silliness would "be" a Bond movie if it starred Pierce Brosnan. Reuniting Diesel with his "Fast and the Furious" director Rob Cohen, "XXX" has an attitude (if not a brain) all its own, plucking Diesel's Xander Cage from his celebrity as an extreme sports renegade, recruited by a National Security Agency big shot (Samuel L. Jackson) to foil a nasty Czech villain (Marton Csokas) who's eager to depopulate Prague with remote-controlled biological weaponry. Toss in a sulky, sultry Russian agent (Asia Argento) and you've got extreme Bond-age for anyone who thinks tuxedos are passé. With a handful of eye-popping action sequences, "XXX" launched a movie franchise with a cool guy, another cool muscle car, and plenty of box-office sizzle. "--Jeff Shannon"
