IMDb profile

For the 2005 film with Ice Cube, see XXX: State of the Union.

XXX (also written xXx), pronounced "Triple X", is a 2002 action movie starring Vin Diesel. XXX was marketed as a James Bond style film for the new millennium and featured similar gadgetry, international schemes and intrigues, villain-sponsored take-over-the-world schemes backed up by doomsday devices, a female co-star / love interest, and outrageous stunts (as Roger Ebert put it, "Why blow up two cars when you can blow up twenty?").

XXX was written by Rich Wilkes, directed by Rob Cohen (who also directed Diesel in 2001's The Fast and the Furious), and produced by Neal H. Moritz for Revolution Studios. Stuntperson Harry L. O'Connor was killed in an accident during filming.

A sequel was released in 2005, titled XXX: State of the Union, starring rap artist/actor Ice Cube and Willem Dafoe.
