xXx: State of the Union

I quite enjoy the films of Lee Tamahori but I'm quite sure even he would rather this one were struck from his official record. Sure, great action sequences but the mostly seem to be of the CGI nature which is cheating and yesh, we have Samuel L. Jackson back for the ride looking meaner than usual but I suspect this had more to do with being in this stink fest rather than being in character...and then we have Ice Cube. Damn, but somebody should have told him he was in an ACTUAL film and not a gangsta video. Speaking of gansta, rapper Xzibit stand out as one of the better talents here which is a sure sign the film is in trouble. Oh, and did I mention Willem Dafoe is in it? No? It doesn't matter because he's no help in this mess either. An utter four lane highway pile-up mess in the fog!
