Watchin' Movies & Dyin' Inside: "XXX: State of the Union" (2005) Action/Spy/Thriller - Ice Cube

I watch another movie and see whether or not it's amazing or if I start dying inside. Today's feature: 2005's "XXX: State of the Union", directed by Lee Tamahori. After the NSA is attacked by a mysterious goon squad and Xander Cage is killed off-screen in Bora Bora, it's up to soldier-turned-convict Darius Stone to uncover the conspiracy looking to overthrow the United States government.

Does Willem Dafoe's Secretary of Defense Deckert have something to do with it? Obviously. Why else would Willem Dafoe be in this?

Plus, find out how Xander Cage "dies" in the DVD exclusive short "Final Chapter: The Death of Xander Cage". It's contradicted immediately in "XXX: State of the Union", and retconned in "XXX: The Return of Xander Cage". What fun.
