'XXX: State of the Union'
![Revolution Studios needn't have worried that Vin Diesel would not be doing the sequel to the 2002 hit "XXX," because Ice Cube proves up to the task in "XXX: State of the Union." Cube has always been a natural in front of a camera, and he's as much at ease as a daring action star as he has been of late in comedies. "State of the Union" opens explosively and never lets up, with Lee Tamahori ("Die Another Day") in full command of the action and Simon Kinberg an equally astute writer with a flair for linking socko action set pieces with terse characterization and a sure sense of topicality. The film's makers understand in the post-9/11 world that it can seem just about anything might be possible, taking full advantage of the likelihood that the faster the pace the less implausible a movie will seem.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2005-04/17348046.jpg "Revolution Studios needn't have worried that Vin Diesel would not be doing the sequel to the 2002 hit "XXX,\" because Ice Cube proves up to the task in \"XXX: State of the Union.\" Cube has always been a natural in front of a camera, and he's as much at ease as a daring action star as he has been of late in comedies. \"State of the Union\" opens explosively and never lets up, with Lee Tamahori (\"Die Another Day\") in full command of the action and Simon Kinberg an equally astute writer with a flair for linking socko action set pieces with terse characterization and a sure sense of topicality.
