"You're the new triple X"
"God bless America"


I'm probably going to wait a bit before catching this.:sweat:

Think I'm going to see it tomorrow afternoon. Finals are this week and I could use a dumb action movie to get my mind off of studying for a bit.

If it wasn't for Ice Cube, I'd probably take the time to catch this in the theater. Looks like it's got some really outrageously-over-the-top action scenes and would otherwise be a decent time waster. But with Ice Cube in the lead, I think I'll wait for DVD, and even then, the Fast Forward button will probably get a lot of use whenever Cube shows up. :D

just the dumb action movie i've been waitin for... i liked it... ice cube did a much better job than I thought he would... i actually enjoyed this far more than the original xXx...

good stuff. i was never bored. while some of the action scenes were a bit over the top, they still worked. despite others' misgivings, i had absolutely no problem w/ the former nwa member headlining this flick... to be honest, i prefer ice cube to vin diesel (which is something I never expected) :)

if this movie has taught me anything, it's to question authority ... God bless America, indeed! :D (and I'm Canadian, hahaha).

4/5 from me. :)

I never saw the first XXX but If you like action like I do this is a good movie that will keep you awake. Seeing Cube chase down that train with his car and using the aicraft carrier to launch a tank were some nice scenes.The dialog was a little corney but other than that I wasnt disappointed. This is something I could probably rewatch which is always a god thing. 3 stars.
