[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in xXx: State of the Union?
Honestly, xXx: State of the Union would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Unpopular opinion: xXx: State of the Union is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love xXx: State of the Union. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
