XXX: Return of Xander Cage Cast And Crew, Director
Synopsis:
XXX: Return of Xander Cage is launching on the day of President-elect Trump’s swearing-in, and in that context, it’s a surprisingly enlightening film. Back in 2002, when the first XXX movie debuted, its ex-government superspy protagonist embodied the same sort of dudebro nationalism that helped elevate Trump to the White House. Yet, here he is, 15 years later, embracing a progressive, global perspective that’s entirely contrary to the new leader of the free world. “There are no more patriots,” Xander Cage declares, practically winking at the audience. “Only rebels and tyrants.” This, of course, follows his skiing adventure through a rainforest.

Return of Xander Cage, much like the original XXX, shouldn’t function as entertainment even theoretically. It’s James Bond meets The Fast and the Furious, but with skateboards and motorcycles. It inherits some of its influences’ worst tendencies, which let it go overboard in almost every way, common sense be damned. But it’s fun and mostly harmless, never taking itself too seriously while it rewards its inexplicable fans. Better still, it makes every effort to borrow from the Fast series’ modern push for more diverse heroes, something the action genre needs right now. Make no mistake: the new XXX is as foolish as its title implies. But as a pioneer setting the course for where mindless action movies should head in the coming years, it’s unexpectedly strong.
