Vin Diesel is a natural for this role. The movie is a rush of testosterone. I have always been a fan of the James Bond movies and always felt like part of the appeal to them was that they are "over the top". XXX is over the top even more than 007. 007 is a martini and XXX is a shot of tequila. From the opening scene to the end there is enough explosions and fight scenes to please any "dude flick" seeker. I reccomend this to anyone needing a temporary escape from reality.
