Plot:
While on a mission to recruit new XXX agents, Gibbons (Jackson) is decimated by a fallen satellite but upon investigation it is discovered that this was not an accident but rather an assassination by design. While filling in as interim boss in charge Jane Marke (Colette) heads up a meeting with the top brass of the Agency that is soon sabotaged by a small group of rebel XXX agents led by Xiang (Yen) who retrieves the mechanism that controls the satellites being used to target and kill its intended victim. Jane who needs all the help she can get to regain the device, seeks to enlist the services of Xander Cage (Diesel) who has not been active in some years. After some strong convincing by Jane he along with a special elite task group take on the assignment of going up against Xiang and his team of rogue agents while they are both trying to keep the device out of the hands of the real terrorist who wants it to control the world.
Reel Talk:
Guess whose back after 15 years of missing in action as Xander Cage? Yep it is Vin Diesel, he is back in the saddle as the ultra cool but corny talking super spy. Also back is the over the top, unrealistic action packed stunts but that is what makes this movie work and this time there are others along with Diesel to share in the fun. They not only share in the action but also the corny dialog as well. As a treat you will even get a cameo of Ice Cube returning as the character Darius Stone from the second installment to the XXX series. This movie is loaded with action and lots of fun, so I say it is worth the bang for the buck.
