1.0 out of 5 stars state of lowness, February 25, 2009

By	Michael P. Dobey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The first xxx movie had a certain charm with it's unnglamerous but likeable super agent engaging in wild stunts. It Had a decent story for that type of fantasy movie and was a decent a budget movie. That can't be said for this one however and Vin Diesel wisely stayed away from this really bad A movie. It has alot of good actors in it who must have gone insane to appear in this flick. If it were a bad b movie you could say: "well that's what you get" but this was a higher budget flick. It has a hero who convinces murderous gnngstas to help him fight evil bad guys by telling them that what's good about this country is that you can still car jack (and kill innocent people) a block away from the capital building! Yes that's the mentality of this movie which aims to please fan's of gangster crap rap.

It has stunts that are silly and weren't meant to be, like a car traveling down railroad tracks and of course it is a perfect fit as the wheels burn away!. Samuel L jackson ,a man of some class, must have had a large house payment due to be in this travesty.
And ALMOST every A movie that features rap in it's soundtrack has been a failure, this one also has that hampering it's likeability. The blu ray print is very good but nothing can save this thing that was made by men who worship street thugs; regardless if they kill little kids and destroy their own people with drugs. That's why the hero is a creature of their perverse mindset and nowhere even near anyones but the lowest (gang rap, not other kinds of rap) type of thug reality version of a trained spy or secret agent.

By	Joseph Chow (Singapore) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I OWNED THE DVD AND NOW THE BLU RAY VERSION. THE PICTURE QUALITY IS GREAT
AND THE AUDIO DOLBY TRUEHD 5.1 IS EXCELLENT. A MUST HAVE FOR BLU RAY LOVERS.

NON STOP ACTION WITH LOTS OF SHOOTING AND EXPLOSION.
