"XXX: State of the Union" review


xXx: State of the Union (2005)

Directed by Lee Tamahori
Writing credits Simon Kinberg

Ice Cube.... XXX/Darius Stone
Samuel L. Jackson.... Agent Augustus Gibbons
Willem Dafoe.... Gen. George Octavius Deckert
Scott Speedman.... Agent Kyle Steele
Peter Strauss.... President James Sanford
Xzibit.... Zeke
Sunny Mabrey.... Charlie
Nona Gaye.... Lola Jackson

So Ice Cube has to save the world. He's recruited by Samuel Jackson to take on the bad guys. Ice Cube blows up things real good. My hands down favorite part is when he flies onto the bridge with his speedboat and takes out all of the cops and then strides manfully to his waiting car. My God, this scene was genius. There are various other scenes of action insanity which makes "XXX: State of the Union" worth checking out.

All of the women in this movie had large breasts. No nudity but a lot of heaving cleavage. This movie is the very definition of "eye candy". Whether its things blowing up or hot women strutting their stuff, "XXX 2" delivers the goods.

Of course it's all ridiculous but who cares? I don't. I loved it. I'd watch it again right now. Was it a parody of loud stupid action flicks or was it in fact a loud stupid action flick? There's no doubt about it. "XXX: State of the Union" is a loud stupid action flick and proud of it. Roll with it and you'll like it. Try to fight its stupid ways and you'll be in pain.

SCORE: 3 out of 4 for lots and lots of eye candy
