Today I went to go see xXx with Messrob. What an incredibly silly film. It constantly approaches the line of “absurdity”, and crosses it. I had a blast, certainly, but it wasn’t as good as The Fast and the Furious. I also felt, at times, like this was one of the best James Bond satires since Austin Powers. Still, the stunts were cool to watch, even if they were loosely tied together with a rudimentary Bond-esque plot. Musically, Randy Edelman did a nice job, and the score sounded like an interesting mix of big orchestral action (ala David Arnold) mixed with a touch of Hans Zimmer (ala The Peacemaker). Should you run out and see it? Eh, probably not. But if you’re looking for 2 hours of silly fun, then I say, go for it.
