XXX Cage is a notorious underground thrill seeker who until now has been deemed untouchable by the law. NSA Agent Gibbons forces XXX to co-operate with the government to infiltrate an underground Russian crime ring and avoid going to prison. Stars Vin Diesel, Samuel L. Jackson, Marton Csokas & Asia Argento. Xander.
This amped action drama stars Vin Diesel as Xander (aka Triple X), a rebellious extreme sports star with a mission to defy authority and create anarchy. In the dramatic opening scene of the movie, Xander pulls an outrageous serious of stunts with the help of a band of similar-minded jocks, broadcasts the whole event live onto the Internet with a network of strategically placed digital cameras, and then avoids being captured by the squadron of police who pursue him. When Triple X is later taken into custody, Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson), a representative from a government agency, hires the chiseled athlete and turns him into a secret agent with a mission to travel to Prague and collapse a dangerous terrorist cell operated by Yorgi (Martin Csokas) and the seductive Yelena (Asia Argento). Triple X is quickly drawn into Yorgi's lair, a stunning chateau situated in the mountains that is equipped with every high-tech modern amenity imaginable, along with a sizeable team of extra-large Slav bodyguards, a laboratory staffed by top scientists, and an always-ready gaggle of gorgeous concubines. Non-stop stunts, pounding hard-core music, elaborate sets, and inventive costumes make this Rob Cohen-directed adrenaline overload a visually exciting, aurally engaging, highly entertaining success.
Theatrical Release: August 9, 2002

X'ed out I saw this celluloid fart in theaters last summer. Having an American James Bond is liking having a white John Shaft - IT DOESN'T WORK, PEOPLE!! Vin Diesel can't act his way out of held up 7-11! This guy is all show (bling-bling for the uneducated) and no heart or class. I saw this for free & I wanted my money back! How does crap like this get made?!?! Submitted by a reviewer (Auburn, ME) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
