I.M.C.F Review
This film marks the continuation of the 'xXx Film Series' franchise, after 12 years!! This film sees the return of Vin Diesel as Xander Cage who comes out of self-imposed exile, thought to be long dead, and is set on a collision course with deadly alpha warrior and his team in a race to recover a sinister and seemingly unstoppable weapon known as Pandora’s Box. Recruiting an all-new group of thrill-seeking cohorts, Xander finds himself enmeshed in a deadly conspiracy that points to collusion at the highest levels of world governments.
The star cast had been well picked, weather its Neymar Jr (I dont know from where and why was he picked for that small role) or Donnie Yen or Deepika Padukone or Nina Dobrev... Everyone had been exceptional on screen, both in terms of action and cuteness (talking about female lead, obviously!). But this film features too many action scenes which are highly impossible in real life and doesn't actually make any sense. Well... scenes like such are what makes Vin Diesel famous for who is, but these scenes are literally over the limit and instead of thrilling the audience, might make them feel... 'Come on, now'!!
Film lacks story and the story which it had is utterly common. Apart from one or two scenes, nothing much notable is there in this film!
I.M.C.F Rating : 72/100
Direction : 6/10 : Too many action scenes, which doesn't make any sense. Star cast not completely utilized!
Production Values : 8/10 : Just fine. But star cast is good. Neymar and Nina especially :)
Story/Plot : 5/10 : Nothing special!
Cast Performances : 7/10 : Yeah good enough, but we have seen better of them all!
Music : 7/10 : Ok, i guess
Cinematography : 8/10 : Hollywood job. So yeah... as usual.
Action Sequences : 8/10 : 8 off 10 scenes didnt make much sense, but yeah he is Xander Cage. A xXx Agent. He can do stuff!
Screenplay : 7/10 : Wont tie you to the seat!
Dialogues : 7/10 : Average
Awe Moment(s) : 9/10 : Game with Granedes, The Race for the Pandora's box through traffic, Deepika's action sequence!
