Top CriticSporadically entertaining, this is nevertheless seriously hampered by a very choppy screenplay.
03/02/03
Top CriticVin may not yet be a Bond, or a Terminator, or even Conan the Barbarian. But he's got presence and charisma.
11/19/02
Top CriticDiesel's a limited actor but a great performer - he just exudes cool. It's his charisma -- coupled with the raw sex appeal of Asia Argento's X girl -- that makes Rob Cohen's movie tick.

Top CriticMove over, James Bond: Vin Diesel's in the house.
08/10/02
Top CriticIn its own punk way, XXX is as good as a good Bond movie, and that's saying something.
08/09/02
Top CriticThis is perhaps the silliest movie ever to certify the arrival of a major star since, well, The Fast and the Furious, the last Cohen-Diesel collaboration.
08/08/02
Top CriticMore busy than exciting, more frantic than involving, more chaotic than entertaining.

Top CriticPitifully written, with flagrant disregard for reality in the fashion of a spoof.
08/05/02
Top CriticThe first of doubtless several editions of XXX is ideally tuned to young guys with short attention spans who fantasize alternately about big guns and hot babes.
