xXx (2002)
An extreme sports athlete is forced into espionage, bringing his high-octane attitude to a gritty global threat.
Xander Cage is your standard adrenaline junkie with no fear and a lousy attitude. When the US Government "recruits" him to go on a mission, he's not exactly thrilled. His mission: to gather information on an organization that may just be planning the destruction of the world, led by the nihilistic Yorgi.
How intense is xXx?
xXx is not scary, with light gore and strong violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is relentless, and it is a full-attention watch and a party watch. Rated PG-13.
