State of the Union was the second XXX film. It was basically a vehicle for Ice Cube to be the new XXX and act like a bad ass.
The story begins with the National Security Agency being under attack and Agent Gibbons (Samuel L. Jackson) seeking out Darius Stone (Ice Cube) to be his new XXX and find out what happens. That allows Cube to beat people up, blow stuff up, crash boats, and other fun action sequences. He also gets to talk a lot of smack and cop an attitude. There’s plenty of jokes along the way as well.
If you don’t take the movie seriously it is a lot of fun and might even be better than the first XXX.

Editorial Reviews
In this action-packed sequel to the box-office smash xXx, Ice Cube stars as Darius Stone, a thrill-seeking troublemaker whose criminal record and extreme sports obsession make him the perfect candidate to be the newest xXx agent. He must save the U.S. government from a deadly conspiracy led by five-star general and Secretary of Defense George Deckert (played by Willem Dafoe). Only a renegade xXx agent like Stone has the Xtreme skills to stop Deckert's dangerous military splinter group from taking over the government in America's capital.

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.

This guy cannot act. There is no way he was chosen on qualifications. Yawn. He has one look all the time - angry. The entire movie is lame. What happened to the good directors, did they all get fired?

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.

Classic cheesy 90's/2000's action flick. Its no Oscar winner, so don't go into it expecting an artful masterpiece. It's fun. It might even be entertaining (although that might just be my nostalgia talking.) Good background noise for folding laundry.

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.

Toller Film!

Der zweite Teil einer der besten Actionfilmreihen der 2000er, also ein absolutes Musthave.
Icecube und Samuel L .Jackson und viele weitere Schauspieler liefern hier eine erstklassige Arbeit ab, die deutsche Übersetzung ist nicht die beste aber in Ordnung.
Der Versand war schnell und die Hülle in Ordnung, der Preis ist Perfekt! Für diesen Film hätte ich auch 30 Euro bezahlt.

It was a good action movie and does bridge the gap between the original XXX and the new XXX The Return of Xander Cage. However. I thought it lacked the special touch that Vin Diesel gives to the franchise. I felt Samuel L Jackson's performance, as usual was great. I always look forward to seeing him in any movie.

Not as good as the first
Reviewed in Canada on February 24, 2017Verified Purchase
It's an all right movie. Not as good as the first, but not terrible.
People dislike it because Vin Diesel's not in it, but I just see it for what it is. Probably has my favorite villain of the trilogy, played by Willem Dafoe
