#0, xXx: Return of Xander Cage

As expected, it's very much a dumb movie, but certainly an enjoyable one provided you can turn your brain off. Just enjoy Donnie Yen beating the hell out of people, various extreme stunts, and Vin Diesel being a Cool Guy. It feels like this movie is every dumb stunt/scene they told him can't be in Fast in the Furious+his hidden desire to have been in a movie like the Expendables.

That said, I felt like Nina Dobrev, Ruby Rose, and Tony Jaa's characters were all trying too hard, if'n that makes any sense. Credit to Michael Bisping, actually, as a long time MMA fan I barely recognized him as himself and felt he did fine with what little they gave him.

I liked the movie, but felt like it could have used approx 62% less ladies in bikinis as background scenery, and one less country.

Really? 'cause I loved the Fuck outta Ruby Rose. I'd pay good money to watch The Adventures of Serena Unger and Adele Wolff, Lady Badasses.
