If you liked the original Fast & The Furious (also starring Vin Diesel) then you will probably like XXX. I would give it a 6.5, rounding up to 7. It's not a particularly noteworthy addition to the action genre but I think it's Vin Diesel at his best and some of the stunts are legitimately awesome. Has a few computer generated parts that don't hold up but most of the stunts are real and still look great 20 years later. Puts it one notch above the average action movie. Unique rock and metal soundtrack, a fun cameo or two. It's a dumb action movie but I enjoyed it for what it has to offer. Has some good laughs, especially the "cheesy-but-cool" lines from Diesel. Similar to the quotable lines from The Fast & The Furious like "I live my life a quarter-mile at a time." Corny, but, makes you smile.
