XXX marks the spot
Vin Diesel is forging a career out of over the top action flicks. The newest entry in his portfolio is the high-adrenaline spy film XXX. The box office hit comes to DVD from Columbia TriStar just in time for your New Year’s Eve Party.
Xander Cage (XXX) is a walking advertisement for anti-authoritarianism. And like the letter that begins his first name, he’s extreme in every way – making him a perfect candidate to spearhead a clandestine operation being mounted by the National Security Agency. Scouted by Agent Augustus Gibbons, a veteran with the NSA, XXX is forced to cooperate with the government to infiltrate an underground Russian crime ring in order to avoid going to prison. Forced to use his athletic prowess and thrill-seekers attitude, XXX must covertly enter this dangerous world to combat a ruthless enemy. Xander finds himself pitted against a cadre of cutting-edge thugs calling themselves Anarchy 99, headed by the brutal ex-Russian Army commander Yorgi and his beautiful but hardened girlfriend, Yelena.
Just as the film is packed with action, so is the disc packed with extras. Beginning with an anamorphic widescreen, Dolby Digital 5.1 presentation, the DVD will feature a director’s commentary , a Filmmaker’s Diary documentary, the featurettes Diesel Powered, Designing the World of XXX, Building Speed: The Vehicles of XXX and The GTO is Back, deleted scenes with optional director’s commentary, storyboard comparisons, multi-angle deconstructions, visual effects how to’s, the Gavin Rossdale music video “Adrenaline” and DVD-ROM content.
All this will arrive on December 31st with a suggested list price of $27.95.
