XXX: State of the Cube

XXX: State of the Union has really nothing to do with the first one except that Samuel L. Jackson is in it. I was at Hollywood Video where they had a 4 for $20 deal and I couldn’t pass this little gem up. Here’s a quick synopsis:

Samuel L. Jackson’s top secret XXX program is infilitrated by some super bad guys with state of the art ludicrous technology. He needs to activate a new XXX since Xander Cage (Vin Diesel’s character) is dead in Bora Bora. He goes to his lieutenant from Kosovo who was wrongly incarcerated… Ice Cube. Ice Cube is a kick-ass Navy Seal who is also from the streets. When they find out the government is after them and Samuel Jackson is killed, he has to turn to his roots on the east side of DC. His roots involve Xhibit in a chop shop!

Not to give the rest of the plot away, but Willem Dafoe is the evil Secretary of Defense trying to take over the country.

Monster Mike tell me what happened in this movie:
- Samuel L. Jackson’s purple car straight out of Trick My Ride.
- 2Pac being quoted and referenced over and over again.
- Burrowing bombs that make a perfect climbing tunnels for soldiers.
- A Cobra prototype that fits on train rails perfectly and can hit 220 mph.
- Xhibit lifting a tank with normal car jacks.

If you get a chance watch this movie, Ice Cube is truly Spectorqular.
