XXX is still in action - stealing transponders for cable TV sets and hurtling down mountainside jungles in skis and skateboards, in an exotic land of hot women and football. However, when a "Pandora's Box" that looks like a cable set top box and can send any satellite on a collision course towards Earth in 2 clicks, turning it into an assassin, is stolen, XXX needs to get his act together to save the world, with a team that includes a sniper and, hold your breath, a DJ.
With our very own Deepika Padukone playing the kickass, no nonsense love interest for the much loved Vin Diesel, XXX did raise a lot of interest before its release. Sadly,a juvenile non-existent plot, mostly bland seen-it-before action, and average dialogues makes this a movie you can safely cross off your bucket list.
After Anil Kapoor's much-acclaimed "performance" in Slumdog, PC looked like she was running away with the title of self-proclaimed Hollywood killer in the country. And I guess that title remains her's. Deepika gets barely a few minutes on screen, and doesn't have much to do other than making intense faces while she shoots and kicks her way through the bad men, and mouths some long winded, meant-to-be-serious-as-hell dialogues, in her uncomfortable Indian accent, over shadowed by the other two women in the movie - one through her cuteness, the other through her stunts.
Avoidable.
