These are great movies! ;D
xXx, pronounced "Triple X", is a 2002 action movie starring Vin Diesel. xXx was marketed as a James Bond style film for the new millennium and featured similar gadgetry, international schemes and intrigues, villain-sponsored take-over-the-world schemes backed up by doomsday devices, a female co-star/love interest, and elaborate stunts (as Roger Ebert put it, "Why blow up two cars when you can blow up twenty?").
xXx was written by Rich Wilkes, directed by Rob Cohen (who also directed Diesel in 2001's The Fast and the Furious), and produced by Neal H. Moritz for Revolution Studios. The novelization for the movie was written by Mel Odom.
A sequel was released in 2005, titled xXx: State Of The Union, starring rap artist/actor Ice Cube and Willem Dafoe.

xXx: State of the Union, mainly released as xXx 2: The Next Level outside of the United States and Canada, is a 2005 action/adventure film, directed by Lee Tamahori. It is a sequel to the 2002 film xXx (pronounced "triple x").
Vin Diesel and Rob Cohen, the lead actor and director of the original had signed onto this film before xXx had opened, but both dropped out. Cohen remained an executive producer.
Two different scripts were made for this film, and the one written by Simon Kinberg was selected. The other script featured a radically different plot, possibly serving as the basis for another sequel. As State of the Union underperformed at the box office, and was criticized heavily by critics (the first installment's reception was mixed), it is uncertain whether any new installments will ever be made.
