Triple X

This amped action drama stars Vin Diesel as Xander (aka Triple X)‚ a rebellious extreme sports star with a mission to defy authority and create anarchy. In the dramatic opening scene of the movie‚ Xander pulls an outrageous serious of stunts with the help of a band of similar-minded jocks‚ broadcasts the whole event live onto the Internet with a network of strategically placed digital cameras‚ and then avoids being captured by the squadron of police who pursue him. When Triple X is later taken into custody‚ Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson)‚ a representative from a government agency‚ hires the chiseled athlete and turns him into a secret agent with a mission to travel to Prague and collapse a dangerous terrorist cell operated by Yorgi (Martin Csokas) and the seductive Yelena (Asia Argento). Triple X is quickly drawn into Yorgi's lair‚ a stunning chateau situated in the mountains that is equipped with every high-tech modern amenity imaginable‚ along with a sizeable team of extra-large Slav bodyguards‚ a laboratory staffed by top scientists‚ and an always-ready gaggle of gorgeous concubines. Non-stop stunts‚ pounding hard-core music‚ elaborate sets‚ and inventive costumes make this Rob Cohen-directed adrenaline overload a visually exciting‚ aurally engaging‚ highly entertaining success.
