It was hot, it was sexy, it was wild and made the first one pale
in comparison! Yes I am talking about the movie XXX - the next
level. If you, specially young ladies, expected some raunchy stuff
you can stop reading right here and head to kamath's or binu's blog.
You will find enough material over there to quench your "thirst".
I am a family blogger by the way.
Now lets get to the movie. It kicks off with a brilliant action
sequence where one of the NSA division headed by Samuel L Jackson
is attacked and 16 of it's agents gets killed. This is when the
hunt for a new "XXX" who is suppose to be more dangerous and lethal
than the original XXX (code name for the agent) begins.
Since Vin Diesel was busy with his schedules they have opted for
Ice Cube (not Hyper cube) as the new XXX. It is beyond anyone's
understanding as to why he was picked to replace the old XXX,
I mean he is so fat and definitely this guy can't act. I have not
heard Mr.Cube's racist rap songs, which he is very famous for,
but he better stick to that. The fact that they refer to the
"old XXX" getting killed and ridicule him as mere skateboarder
suggest that Vin Diesel might have opted out of the movie sequel.
What follows is a real torture. Some meaningless stunts, I love the
way ICE escapes from the prison, u got to see the movie to
understand my true feelings. I have no problem with the action
movies but man this one really sucked. The one liners will rip your
ears off. From the beginning to the end you will see some
"out-of-this-world" action sequences which are in place to keep the
audience busy and confused while the director hatches the plot for
the final sequence. Bollywood wakeup u r in for a real competition
from Hollywood.
At some point u actually feel that the director Lee Tamahori
is bit sadistic. For instance lets check this sequence of Ice
with a beautiful blond in a bedroom...wait don't get so excited.
Now if u ask me how did he ends up with a chick like that, well
it never got registered in my already overloaded brain.
Conversation goes something like this...
Blond: U better take shower, I'll get u some clothe
Ice: #$%#$^$#%^$#
Blond: I'll be just outside, if u need "anything" at all just call me.
Ice: "Anything"???
Blond: Yeah
Ice: Can I get fried potatoes and a coke?
At this point I could see people thumping their fist in anger.
As far as the plot is concerned this is what I understood -
Secretary of state, played by Willem Dafoe, wants to eliminate his old
nemesis Samuel Jackson and all the agents who are loyal to him.
Then assassinate the president and make it look like the work of
these agents and become the next president or something like that.
...and the movie continues, cars and bullets flying, Ice launches a
Tanker off the deck of an aircraft carrier!!!
Ok...it is enough I guess. Let's get to the climax. It looks like a
bad action game. Imagine the president of united states being
hijacked in a bullet train and our hero catching up with it in a
sports car!!! Towards the end he puts his car onto the rail track.
Once the tires get ripped apart the rims perfectly fit onto the rails!
he jumps onto the train and rescues the president.
It was such an experience, can't wait to watch the next XXX movie:-)
