Flick Pick: XXX

XXX
(Columbia, 2002)

One of the wildest and most kick-ass live-action adventures in years, and still great fun to watch. It's not drama school on display, it's flash, explosions, and some of the extremest stunts ever filmed, not least of which was the finale, which killed star Vin Diesel's stunt double on the second take. (Take One is the one in the movie.) And the less said about the abominable sequel the better, but noting that Vin Diesel somehow morphed into being black, and as rapper Ice Cube, was probably the first clue things would not be the same as the original.
