Movie Review: xXx The Return of Xander Cage (2017)

Hello All,

    Sorry this wasn’t posted sooner, truth be told I wanted to catch up on some sleep. I really don’t have too much to say on this one honestly, so let’s just jump right into it shall we?

Plot Summary - Thought to be dead Agent Xander Cage (Vin Diesel), comes out of self imposed exile when a powerful weapon is stolen by a group of highly skilled individuals similar in style to cage.

Pros - The action scenes are entertaining, and the cast is clearly game for the material as well. The story is pretty entertaining for the most part as well.

Cons - The villains are uninteresting, and the film is trying a bit too hard to feel like suicide squad with mixed results, and some of the supporting characters get too little to do, especially Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa.

Final Score - 5/10

This is a lot like underworld for me, it’s dumb but can be entertaining, and if you’re not really into the xXx films there’s not a whole lot here for you. It’s dumb fun, I’d say take it as you will.

Next: Split - I’ve been hearing good things about it, plus it fits in better with my schedule tomorrow.

Links: (Ah this section is still terrible looking.)

Last Review is Here: My last film was a kid’s film produced by a kid. You can read that here.

Twitter Account is Here: You’ll get notices when the reviews are live as soon as I post them, plus any trailers, movie news, or updates on when I stream on Twitch. I’m always looking for new followers, and with more followers means more ways for you guys to contribute.

Suggestion Box is Here: Are you sick of gaps in my posts? Why not suggest a film or film series for me to watch? Suggestions will be completed in order received, and if you’d like to leave your name for a suggestion credit and anything you’d like me to promote (within reason) I’d be happy to do that too. This suggestion box will be a permanent fixture of the blog, as again I’d love any and all help you guys want to offer.

Twitch Channel is Here: I’ll admit, I don’t quite have a regular streaming schedule worked out, but if you follow either the Twitter account or the channel directly you will be notified whenever I go live.

Until next time, I’ll see you folks at the movies.
