xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage: reviews

What the critics say average 4.5 from 8 outlets

• 6.0 EmpireDan Jolin 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. Read
• 6.0 The GuardianPeter Bradshaw 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. Read
• 5.8 The PlaylistWill Ashton 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. Read
• 5.0 The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck A reasonably entertaining popcorn movie experience. Read

• 2.0 Rolling StonePeter Travers Director D.J. Caruso shoots the action so incoherently that you don't know where you are and who's getting hit. Read
