Action movie. Review on xXx: Return of Xander Cage

First thing I like that an indian actress deepika is now in a hollywood movie boom.

so The review of xXx: Return of Xander Cage has to begin with Deepika Padukone in India. Vin Diesel will just have to wait. So here goes: Deepika Padukone is not an after-thought in xXx, neither is she an arm candy for Vin Diesel’s X aka Xander Cage. And mercifully, her Indian identity is not pushed down our throats even though she bravely keeps her accent desi. In fact, as far as xXx has a leading lady, it is she. Deepika matches Vin kick for kick and knife fight for knife fight. She can throw grenades with the best of them and can rescue herself, thank you very much. And she does it all while wearing leather minis(none of those horrendous fur capes that Xander Cage insists on wearing and thank God for that). There is a kiss too.

A new tech that can bring down satellites in the form of raging balls of fire on our planet has been stolen. Some of the world’s most powerful men and women are killed while discussing this piece of tech, unsubtly called Pandora’s box, by people who know their acrobatics and martial arts. The only one who can save the earth is, of course, Vin Diesel’s Xander Cage. This time, he is up against his own and a villain who gets less time than back-up dancers in a Bollywood movie. I love this movie.
