After the so-so attempt to have Ice Cube take over the franchise with State of the Union, Vin Diesel is back and bring his Fast & Furious sensibilities with xXx: The Return of Xander Cage.  Pulled out of hiding by the NSA, Cage has to infiltrate a deadly group led by Xiang (Donnie Yen), who have gotten their hands on a device called Pandora’s Box that gives access to every military satellite on the planet.  Taking a cue from the Fast & Furious franchise and the millions it’s made since rebooting as a team based action extravaganza, Cage has his own team of xtreme operatives including sniper Adele Wollf (Ruby Rose), tech expert Becky Clearidge (Nina Dobrev), driver Tennyson (Rory McCann) and a new NSA handler, Jane Marke, played by Toni Collette.  Tony Jaa is also in there somewhere and Samuel L. Jackson is back as Gibbons.  The stunts on display are on a completely other level from the previous xXx movies, including Xander riding a motorcycle into the ocean, skiing on a snowless jungle mountain and skateboarding downhill on a winding urban street.  This thing looks insane in the best way possible and it’s out in January, check out the trailer below.
