1st watch 3/12/2005 negative ( dir lee tamahori ) represent noisy and unspectacular and cgi fill action movie . ice cube play a kind of for hire protector of the good old united state of america a xxx in this second in the series which start with vin diesel in the starring role . cube be expressionless and for the most part and and the action become pretty ridiculous and bond like even though be deal with too close to home location like the capitol building and people be involve like the president of our good old united state of america . i realize that this isn not the first movie to include these icon of our society in danger and but we never really believe any of this be real and that the problem here . the act doesn not capture u and the character do not either . so the promised action fest be pretty bore overall . the support player just seem to be along for the ride and do not add much even though they include a few talented people like samuel l. jackson and willem dafoe and and scott speedman ( who be great in the underworld movie but be horrible here ) . i be sure a lot of money be spend on this one and but overall it really wasn not money worth spent in my opinion .
