Van Diesel is a typical untimely birth. If he was born ten years earlier, he would definitely become an action superstar like Stallone and Schwarzenegger. Unfortunately, when he debuted, it was during the decline of American action movies. Searle's hard-trained muscles are also useless. He can't be heroes like Stallone and Schwarzenegger on the big screen. He can only choose to be a hero, with a strong physique and domineering eyes. The guy’s style, so in the movie "Fast and Furious" we saw the car thief who was both good and evil, but unfortunately his limelight was robbed by the actor Paul Walker in that movie. This "Xtreme Agent" "It's Van Diesel's masterpiece.

However, every spy movie has a choice, whether to imitate James Bond and live in the shadow of 007, or to choose another way to create a spy film with its own style, such as "Mission: Impossible" and "The Bourne "All chose the latter, and they all carried forward their own styles. "Xtreme Agents" also wanted to find a different way and create a unique style. Unfortunately, this innovative road did not go far and returned to the old track of 007. The only feature of the film is the special agent in the movie. The agent in the movie is neither a James Bond-style elegant gentleman nor a Jason Bernie-style cold killer. The X in the movie is more like an American street dancing and HIP-HOP. The hip-hop teenager, so "Xtreme Agent" is a 007 movie full of American elements. The British are like a noble gentleman, so the agents in the British culture want James Bond to be as elegant as James Bond, whether killing people or picking up girls, but it’s not the same here in the old United States. The personality and freedom pursued by American culture are created. The role of X in "Xtreme Agent", skateboarding, video games, drag racing, hip-hop music, these American street cultures are vividly reflected in X. In other words, he is the representative of the rebellious youth in the United States, using a popular term in the world. Described as angry youth.

An American angry youth turned into an agent under the intimidation of a CIA officer. (The CIA officer played by Serio Jackson in the movie is very similar to M in 007. They are all secret spies’ bosses and are responsible for giving orders). Bao’s idea was originally very novel, but after all, he couldn’t get rid of the shadow of 007. Like James Bond, X started his spy journey. Of course, sports cars and beauties were indispensable on the way, but compared with 007’s Aston Martin, X’s The sports car is more domineering, 007 has Dr. Q specially for him to create all kinds of small and unique weapons, and the screenwriter also added a role similar to Dr. Q in "Xtreme Agent", specifically for X to create combat weapons. The villain in the movie is also as crazy as the villain in 007. His mind is full of absurd ideas about world destruction and anarchism. The ultimate weapon of gas bombs is also quite interesting, but it’s a pity that the villain died too early, the climax of the movie. Was it a PK between Agent X and the villain, and turned into a PK with a gas bomb? The climactic scenes in the movie can't escape the shadow of 007. Alpine skiing chase and water chase have been used in action scenes. Appeared in the 007 series. The only difference between this film and 007 is that James Bond saves the world while playing girls, while X in this film packs up a group of terrorists while playing extreme sports. "Xtreme Agents", as the name suggests, is to play extreme sports as spies. The screenwriters originally wanted to create a new American spy series through such a novel idea, but they never thought it would end up being a parody of 007.

Although living in the shadows of 007, the movie still has great visual impact, such as mountain avalanches and parachuting by flying cars. These action scenes are quite in line with the two characters of the limit, with the addition of Van Diesel’s gangster style and the movie. The dynamic hip-hop soundtrack makes "Xtreme Agent" still show some domineering. The choice of film location is also quite conscientious. The old Prague is in sharp contrast with the modern and popular style of the movie, and the antique Prague can't help but remind me of Tom's "Mission Impossible".

The British MI6 has cultivated James Bond, and the American CIA has also cultivated Ethan Hunt and Jason Bernie. Although X, who is born in the poor class, has a full personality, it is a pity that the film’s modular plot setting makes this original The very distinctive role became the James Bond of the United States, and the movie "Xtreme Agent" became another spy movie that successfully parodyed 007.

xXx quotes

  • Gibbons: You ever watch lions at the zoo? You can always tell which ones were captured in the wild by the look in their eyes. The wild cat. She remembers running across the plain, the thrill of the hunt. Four hundred pounds of killing fury, locked in a box. But after a while, their eyes start to glaze over, and you can tell their soul has died. The same thing happens to a man. Leavenworth Federal Penetentiary is no joke. They'll take a wild man like you and throw him in solitary just for the fun of it. No more mountains to board, no more oceans to surf. Just a 6-by-8 cell with no window and only a bucket to shit in. You can avoid all of that by doing me this small favor.

    Xander Cage: You don't have shit on me.

    Gibbons: I noticed you have three X's tattooed on the back of your neck. I think that's rather appropriate, since you're looking at three strikes. Grand theft auto, reckless endangerment, and that little bridge stunt of yours makes you a three-time loser. Maybe you ought to call yourself "Triple X." But if you do what I want, I'll make all your little recent criminal transgressions go away and let you get back to that pathetic excuse of a life.

  • Xander Cage: The things I'm gonna do for my country.
