xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage's reviews
Media reviews
Empire
We've seen all these stunts pulled before, and seen them done better, but there's some pleasure to be had here ? even if it's of the extremely guilty kind.
The Guardian
Only the release of a new Police Academy film could cause less excitement. But Vin, great ridiculous beefcake lunk that he is, does provide us with some fun.
The Playlist
One should applaud Diesel and Caruso for breathing unexpected energy into what could?ve been another lame, uninspired continuation. It?s wild, loud and totally out of control, and that?s periodically a pretty good thing.
The Hollywood Reporter
A reasonably entertaining popcorn movie experience.
Variety
Rarely do five minutes elapse between some sort of laugh-out-loud absurdity, and the distinction between the film?s intentional and unintentional comedy grows hazier as it goes.
The Telegraph
The movie wastes chance after chance to pull together a satisfying action sequence, or give us anything to look at that?s not lame, spatially confusing, and badly lit.
Indiewire
Even in the weak signal that is the January movie season, xXx: The Return of Xander Cage hardly registers.
Rolling Stone
Director D.J. Caruso shoots the action so incoherently that you don't know where you are and who's getting hit.
