Film Review: ‘XXX: return of Xander Cage’ as useless as it gets

Honestly, I went for this flick only to check how well our own Deepika Padukone has performed in her first Hollywood Movie. In one sentence, she is good. There are 6 female leads of whom Deepika has been given the best footage. In the first half, a new character is introduced every five minutes which does nothing but adds to the confusion. The films has been targeted at the Asian markets which is why it is overloaded with actors from India(Deepika), Thailand(Tony Jaa), China(Kris Wu) and Hong Kong(Donnie Yen). Every one of them keeps frolicking from here to there, for only God knows what! The Background score and the 3D effects are awesome. The action is great but has little new to offer. Looks like Every frame of the movie has been seen before. The dialogues are hilariously unfunny and the storyline is a big zero. Deepika has got a longer role, but, sadly, the length doesn’t end in a meatier performance. No need to mention even a word for Vin-Bald-Diesel because I never liked him. In all, this mindless action movie is totally avoidable. 2 stars out of 5.
