The xXx films have never promised high-brow cinema. Still, it comes as a something of a surprise to see Vin Diesel’s return as Xander Cage bring with it a stupendous amount of boredom alongside its expected silliness.

Diesel isn't quite 50 yet, and has very big arms, but we're still nearing Roger-Moore-in-A-View-to-a-Kill levels of barely dominating his own film: you feel sorry for the conspicuously agile stunt doubles who've had to shave all their hair off.

Only the release of a new Police Academy film could cause less excitement. But Vin, great ridiculous beefcake lunk that he is, does provide us with some fun.

...with Bond taking itself far too seriously these days, Bourne having vanished up his own angst years ago and no sign of another Expendables installment any time soon, then, damn it, the world needs films like XXX: The Return of Xander Cage.

...there's no time for such trifling issues as continuity and plausibility when the fate of the world is at stake.

We've seen all these stunts pulled before, and seen them done better, but there's some pleasure to be had here - even if it's of the extremely guilty kind.
