XXX: State of the Union (Special Edition, Fullscreen)

Good movie

From the director of Die Another Day and the first XXX comes the sequel XXX State of the Union. The movie had more action than the first one did. Ice Cube played the new XXX who has to stop a threat on the U.S. Government itself. Samuel L. Jackson returns recruiting Ice Cube's character to help him to stop this new threat. There are plenty of surprises and twists in this movie the good guys aren't always good. Things are also not as they seem at first. Lots of explosion, running things down and also the first ever jacking of a tank. If wanting something with action, guns, things blowing up and want to see Samuel L. Jackson, Ice Cube and Scott Freedom then this movie is for you. Being Double crossed comes a lot in this movie it makes it better because you do not know who to trust. Special features are Filmmakers' Commentary, Deleted Scenes, Visual Effects Commentary Documentary "From Convict to Hero: The Making of `XXX: State of the Union'", Top Secret Military Warehouse XXX: According to Ice cube and Bullet Train Breakdown. XXX - State of the Union (Full Screen Edition)

I just did a double triple X. First the 2017 earlier today and now the 2005. They both have great action and violence. With State Of The Union I saw a train and a car go over 200 MPH. That is a great pursuit. That isn't the only pursuit in this movie. There is lots of punching and kicking in SOTU. There is lots of shooting. There is lots of explosions. I wished that I had seen the 2005 before the 2017. After I got into this one I quit that thinking. So earlier I was directed by an Amazon Prime Video email and for this one I used the first in the list PEOPLE WHO WATCHED THIS MOVIE WATCHED... And I landed at this older and I have XXX in my personal library in this apartment. I haven't watched it in over 9 years.

Got it as new

I skipped this when it first came out because it didn't have Xander in it.But when I saw the third film I found that I was missing a lot of background. Somehow, "xxx" became an organizational name.So I rented this one. It didn't provide the background, but it turned out to be a very good sequel, in its own way perhaps as good as the original.Of course, it has to be kept in mind that it is a very good /action film/. If you are looking for a serious drama, look elsewhere.But if you are looking for an action film, this one'll do ya.It also killed Xander off. I think that is probably the best way to look at it: Xander is dead, move on to the next guy.

Not the best of the series, but still very Good Overall

Poor script, bad acting, yet fun to watch.Seriously, the lines are delivered as if in a high school play written by two 7th graders. Despite all this it really was enjoyable to watch (you really need to suspend any disbelief for this to happen :) )

I thought this was a great sequel. It has plenty of action, special effects, and comedy. Ice Cube breathes new life into the xXx series.Others may disagree, but I thought XXX: State of the Union was a great action movie; it had everything I want in this kind of thriller, and there's nothing more enjoyable than getting to the truth of a vast conspiracy - especially when the path is filled with as many explosions as the filmmakers can pack into 100 minutes. It's true that a lot of innocent civilians and a fair share of good guys are killed in the process, but this is just a movie -a wildly entertaining one that I thoroughly enjoyed.
