L.A. Weekly
What's fun is that the road to that climactic Capitol showdown is paved with one ridiculous and relentlessly edited set piece after another. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
A smooth blend of visual special effects, exceptional stunts, fluid photography, sharp design and a possible best-selling soundtrack. - 50
Christian Science Monitor
Most of the movie is standard action fare, but the political commentary is interesting when it's allowed to surface. - 50
Miami Herald
Basically the first movie all over again, with plenty more of the bridge-jumping, rocket-launching action that audiences loved about the original. - 50
Variety
You'd half expect the Xbox logo to pop up on the credit roll for XXX: State of the Union, since what's on view is closer to a videogame than a movie. While that will be music to the ears of young gamers, it's noise to anyone hoping for a coherent action movie. - 38
Chicago Tribune
What isn't scary--or exciting, amusing or fun--is XXX: State of the Union, a movie so preposterous, cliché-packed and over the top that it makes the original "XXX" seem as good as the original "State of the Union." - 38
ReelViews
One can give Ice Cube props for attitude, but not much more. - 38
Charlotte Observer
The special effects excite at first but wear out their welcome.
