xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017) Review!!!

Synopsis – Xander Cage is left for dead after an incident, though he secretly returns to action for a new, tough assignment with his handler Augustus Gibbons.

If you’ve seen any of the trailers for xXx: Return of Xander Cage, you’ll now that it looks…well, ridiculous. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, especially when it comes to action films.
