Whereas XXX 1 seemed a tad on the unrealistic side, this one is totally impossible to take seriously. A sequel that sets the stage for Ice Cube as the new XXX, the new James Bond-esque franchise. Here's the only side about it: -Ice Cube is great as XXX, and Samuel Jackson plays it cool; -Some scenes are pretty funny; Now here's the downside: -very basic clichéd plot(some plot points, you see them coming a mile away); -for a film based on realism and extreme setting, there alot of unrealistc situations that could never possible happen, and you can tell that Ice Cube is not fit enough to make certain moves here; -As far as characters go, it's the Spike Lee Syndrom, white guys are either dumb or evil; See this film only if you bring a bunch of pals to go see it, or rent it. Either you'll find State of The Union one of the most clichéd and generic action movies.
