Standard Screen; Widescreen; English Soundtrack; French Soundtrack; French Subtitles; Dolby Digital 5.1re; 3" Mini Umd DVD Ice Cube replaces Vin Diesel for this hard-bangin' sequel which favors fists, cars, and snooping over the original's heavy dose of extreme sports stunts. NSA agent Gibbons (Samuel Jackson, back from the original) finds his group under attack by well-armed, well-informed combatants, forcing him to activate a new XXX, Darius Stone (Cube), an old Navy Seal buddy currently cooling his heels in an army prison. It turns out there's a plan to whack the president (Peter Strauss) and a deranged secretary of defense played by Willem Dafoe is behind it. What's more important is the cool way Darius knows how to land a speeding boat on a bridge, then walk away in slow motion as it blows up behind him. Other great scenes include a tank battle on an aircraft carrier and a race with a bullet train that makes THE FRENCH CONNECTION look like a turtle race. There's some hilarious dialogue, such as when Darius recruits his old D.C. car-jacking buddies to ride into battle against the corrupt militia, leading to the "first tank-jacking in history." Scott Speedman plays a sympathetic Fed; Lola Jackson and Sunny Mabrey are the sexy chicks. There's lots of greal looking cars, cool gadgets, and pumpin' rap-crunk music. Director Lee Tamahori also helmed James Bond's DIE ANOTHER DAY and the 1997 thriller THE EDGE. THEATRICAL RELEASE: APRIL 29, 2005 XXX: State Of The Union Reviews: "STATE OF THE UNION opens explosively and never lets up, with Lee Tamahori in full command of the action and Simon Kinberg an equally astute writer with a flair for linking socko action set pieces with terse characterization and a sure sense of topicality."-- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times "Dafoe, with his rattlesnake charm, creates a witty comic-book X-ray of American military arrogance."

XXX: State Of The Union Video XXX: State Of The Union Movie Review  Great Movie and Sequel!!
First off I thought this movie was going to bomb because they killed off the original XXX Vin Diesel and I wasn't sure if Ice Cube could pull it off, and that they picked him out of all the actors in Hollywood. Well I just watched the DVD today and I gotta say I was impressed. Sure this may be a dumb action movie with no plot and not enough good acting but it's a summer blockbuster. I know this movie wasn't going to win any awards. That's the problem with people they expect all serious movies. I Mean this is a good movie, alone the action is worth it and I thought the plot was good too. And hey even Ice Cube brought a diffrent good attitude towards his character, even though I would have preferred Vin Diesel. Overall this is a good movie despite what critics say about it. Also I love the part at the end where Samuel L Jackson says "he has someone in mind to be the next XXX" that just gets me excited for another XXX movie which I hope there making. My suggestions for the next XXX would either be Eric Bana, Christian Bale, Edward Norton, Matt Damon, or Brad Pitt. One of them would make a great XXX. So I hope you go see or buy this movie for what it's worth. Also I'll be waiting for the next XXX sequel.

The lovely Milla Jovovitch is back with a vengeance as amnesiac, genetically-altered zombie ass-kicker, Alice, in this sequel to the 2002 hit film, which is based on the video game. This time around the sinister Umbrella Corporation sends a team of investigators into their destroyed underground lab (the ground-zero of carnage in the previous film) and unwittingly unleash the still-staggering zombies and monsters out into the population of Raccoon City. Soon Umbrella has evacuated all of their own key employees and has shut everyone else inside to be devoured. A mastermind chemist's daughter gets left behind in the confusion, and she is the one ticket out for Alice and a handful of dwindling survivors, including the equally hot, skimpily dressed, and almost-as-tough lady cop, Jill Valentine (Sienna Guillory). There's some nifty motorcycle riding, plenty of bullets and splattering blood, and even a new monster--the hulking, heavily-armored, seriously ugly Nemesis. Comic actor Mike Epps is great as a ...
