Following a previous incident, Xander Cage (Vin Diesel – Guardians of the Galaxy<\/a>, Furious 7<\/a>, Riddick<\/a>) is left for dead. However, agency many Augustus Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson – Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children<\/a>, The Legend of Tarzan<\/a>, Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/a>) is secretly recruiting more Triple X members. Following a new threat to the globe, Xander is brought back to chase down a device that can control satellites, and kill countless innocents.<\/p>\n

Chasing after Xiang (Donnie Yen – Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) and Serena Unger (Deepika Padukone), Cage teams with Adele Wolff (Ruby Rose – Resident Evil: The Final Chapter) and friends to put a stop to this menace, save the day, and look cool in the process. Extreme sports, stunts and fights are all on the menu for this over the top action storyline.<\/p>\n

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage is simply a film to go watch when you want to escape. There’s shooting, there are over the top stunts, far too many set-ups for one line cliche dialogue, and total mindless shooting and explosions. If that’s what you’re going for, that’s what you get; nothing more, nothing less. But, who doesn’t need some escapism at some point? There are enough guys and girls to ogle. And enough of a variety of said guys and gals to satisfy most peoples visual taste.<\/p>\n

As for plot, it’s very thin. Basically just a set up to allow for all the actions sequences. No twists, no huge setup, the film jumps straight in, and gets on with business.<\/p>\n

xXx: The Return of Xander Cage makes no bones about what it is, an action film, with action scenes, for action fans. The film opens 3 February 2017 in South African cinemas.<\/p>\n
