Wait, this isn't porn!

xXx: 3 Stars. Vin Diesel is here, and clearly he's here to stay. Frankly, this movie was exactly what I'd hoped...good story, great stunts, beautiful women, and it basically rates as the best Bond film since True Lies (and if you want to call that an indictment of the Pierce Brosnan era, feel free...I miss Timothy Dalton). Vin was great as an extreme-sports athlete/political prankster forced into NSA servitude to avoid jailtime. He was believably intelligent, resourceful, and, yes, patriotic and seemed to be having a good time throughout. I look more forward to xXx-2 than to Die Another Day.
