Storyline

Xander "XXX" Cage is a thrill seeker who until now has been deemed untouchable by the law. NSA Agent Gibbons forces XXX to cooperate with the government to infiltrate an underground Russian crime ring, and avoid going to prison. Gibbons sends XXX to enter this world of crime undetected where others have failed, using his natural athletic prowess and a whole lot of attitude. Xander must combat an organization led by a clever, ruthless and nihilistic Yorgi whose first target is the city of Prague.

The NSA wouldn't send agents overseas - that is what the CIA is supposed to do. The NSA's work is limited to the collection and analysis of foreign communications and foreign signals intelligence; it does not perform field or human intelligence activities.

User Reviews

Trasahy men a c ouple of eye candies

This is a OK family movie! I watched it with my kids and we all kinda liked it! Very routine performances and nice action! Me and my kids could all relate to the characters and there was some really funny dialog. Chicks are thin and attractive. I can recommend it!
