Vin Diesel is a smart man, He truly is. He’s understood what works for him and what makes him a ton of money and Sticks to it. Furious 7 was a blockbuster at the box office and he’s back with his other Franchise XXX to recreate the magic of F7. Will he be successful.
XXX bring back Xander Cage, who is now living a life of a commoner in South America, however the fire of the young Xander Cage still burns in his heart and when tested he still proves that he’s on top of his game. Just when he ‘s settled in his new life, the NSA comes Knocking on his Door Again. They need him to track down 4 criminals( Donnie yen, Deepika Padukone, Tony Jaa and Micheal Bisbing ) who smashed into the CIA building as if it was made of tissue and recover a device known as “Pandora’s Box” that can cause a huge world mayhem. Cage puts together his own team to track down the criminals. Can Cage track them in time before they use the device, who are these criminals why do they want the device is what makes the rest of the story.
Directed by D J Caruso who’s only well known film was an average fair ( I am Number four) , was probably the only disappointing part of the entire film. Caruso failed to bring out any element of emotion in any scene from his actors. Coming to the Action, a big fist up for troy Robinson who put together a good team of Choreographers , riggers and drivers to execute some interesting action sequences. Especially the chase on the bus, and master Donnie’s fight scene and the climax scene of Vin But with the kind of talent he had available ( Yen, Jaa) Some sequences were very badly executed . The Multiple cuts in between the action was like watching a intense scene with numerous commercials. The rigging on the other hand was top notch a big shut out to Niel Adams.
The VFX of the film has been done extremely well by Daniel Baker , who’s previously worked on Suicide Squad and is doing the Next Diesel film. the Water stimulation and the Climax blast was done particularly well.
Coming to the actors Vin Diesel is a big tough guy, though his martial arts skills may be questionable , his attitude and screen presence makes up multiple times for it. Like i said before he has found his space extremely well and will be milking it for a long long time. Master SIFU Donnie Yen is fantastic in the film ,he just fantastic generally , there’s a reason why he is the biggest Star in Asia and each film he does proves his place even more. A proud moment for us as Our Indian Super Star Deepika Padukone makes a smashing entry in H town, not only is she fantastic in action but she looks every bit an international Star and has a very bright future (We are so proud of you) Tony Jaa was awesome as always though his characterization was not great,he’s done a great Job. Micheal Bisbing is Micheal Bisbing wither in the Octagon or anchoring or acting Bisbing is the same , and we love him for it.
On the Whole XXX is a big big winner at the box office with a host of international Stars will only add to the already existing power of the franchise, a crisp running time of 90 minutes doesn’t let you think for a moment in this roller coaster rush.
We at amdb.in wish the entire team all the best
