“XXX: The Return Of Xander Cage” (** out of four) was an inferior third entry in the spectacular action series about the return of extreme athlete turned government operative Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) who puts together a new team of thrill-seekers to re-obtain a powerful government weapon known as Pandora’s Box when it is stolen by an alpha warrior villain (Donnie Yen). Surprisingly dull for the first half and story and characters are abstract and hard to get involved in. Slam-bag final half hour finally provides the thrills and over-the-top action that the first two offered. Vin Diesel is game as always and Ice Cube makes a cameo towards the end as the last XXX Darius Stone.
