The pitch meeting must have gone very much like: "It's James Bond with a modern sensibility. Make him a buffed-out American, lose the tux, give him a bunch of tattoos and score it with headbanger music." Not a send-up like Austin Powers, more of a "move over, Jimmy, and let someone else take a crack at this goldmine."

Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) is a one-man Dirty Dozen, blackmailed into working undercover for the National Security Agency (wrong spy outfit, guys) after pulling one too many menace-to-society publicity stunts. After that, it's a 007 film step-for-step, complete with a greasy unshaven Eastern European megalomaniac, willing bimbos and gadgets supplied by a junior version of Q. The stunts are more spectacular, if less believable, and the dialog hipper, if less witty. More than a Bond flick in many ways, but also less. Bring your earplugs.
