KFOG REVIEW: “xXx: RETURN OF XANDER CAGE”

If you were looking for a distraction from world events this weekend, this probably wasn’t going to be good enough. In spite of the star power (well star power if you’re familiar with Southeast Asian cinema) and supposed extreme stunts, “xXx: Return of Xander Cage” was mindless in a way that was dull instead of pleasantly distracting.

The stunts were not all that impressive/were filmed from so far away it wasn’t all that exhilarating. The highlight was probably Donnie Yen’s choreography (in part because you could actually see his face during it). Overall unless you’re a Vin Diesel mega fan (or a fan of the franchise, since, ya know, he wasn’t even in the second one) you can probably skip this one. I do have a suggested alternative.
