1/06: Knowing Vin Diesel didn't come back, I already declared XXX: State of the Union dead on arrival.

Yeah, after seeing it, the sequel bombs beyond recognition. Obviously, the franchise begins and ends with Vin Diesel. I refuse to believe his Xander Cage will die just like that.

Borrowing a lot from the first picture, the sequel also rips off various films such as Pulp Fiction, Escape from New York, Escape from L.A., Predator, and Mission: Impossible. Even how the movie ended after the TGV train approached Ice Cube's character when coming out of the water is exactly the same as the ending of the original.

All in all, because of not getting Vin Diesel back, XXX: State of the Union has been transformed into a needless crappy sequel.
