Don't believe that lying scumbag who wrote the Die Another Day review, James Bond is getting old. A bit past it, not up with the hip audiences of today; Bond has been replaced by a new superspy: XXX. XXX is the codename given to Xander Cage (Diesel), an extreme sports enthusiast and general troublemaker, when he is enlisted (through a series of tests) as the government's latest spy. Using his street-smart ways, and the fact that he is basically a thug like the baddies he's trying to capture, XXX is able to excel at his new job and sets about trying to save the day.

The stunts in XXX, in which Xander uses his extreme sport skills, are so amazingly preposterous that they are extremely enjoyable. The snowboarding scene in particular has to go down as one of my favourite moments ever in a movie. Unfortunately, I shall never live the magic of seeing that scene for the first time again. Also, I think the one-liner 'Thredbo's better' would have been much better than the mediocre quip that Vin comes out with, but then again, American audiences probably wouldn't have got it...
