You gotta love "Guy Movies". They require so little. Action, action, action. That's all you need. Good plot, convincing acting. Etc
not necessary.
And this movie had plenty of action, great stunts, cool colors and graphics. Land, sea and air this movie had it all. Explosions, tank to tank combat, Navy SEALS, car jackers and hot women. Planes, trains and automobiles. Who could ask for anything more???? ME.
In exchange for all the exciting feats that kept us wide eyed for the entire ride, there was the corniness of the dialog and the absolute ridiculousness of the storyline a high price to pay. For all the priceless lines Samuel L. Jackson delivered in Pulp Fiction he gives an equal number of corn straight off the cob in XXX2.
BUT! I love Ice Cube, NWA for life!!!!!!! He was giving the camera all those throwback "mean mugs" he was so famous for back in the day. I love him like that. The old Cube, not the Hollywood Cube. While this is not my favorite Ice Cube movie, I still respect his journey and wish him even greater success. The crossover to action films is one of the best things that could happen to an actor. And in Hollywood, it's also a path to the Governor's mansion. You go Cube!
