Plot: State Of The Union or, also known as The Next Level, is the sequel to the movie 'xXx' in which we see a really 'fast and furious' Vin Diesel perform a series of mind-boggling stunts to stop a psychopath from ripping apart the governments of the world. However, those who thought xXx-2 would be a similar high power stunt shot are in for a surprise, for the 'hard man' Ice Cube's skills are more for fighting, using some really hardcore language, and - my fav - eating. The plot shows a relatively simple storyline: A US Secretary Of State (Willem Dafoe) is planning to overthrow the government and take over as president. He puts a fly in his own soup when he orders an attack on the NSA Headquarters - Agent Agustus Gibbons (Sam Jackson) survives. Out on his own, Gibbons sees the need once again for a new recruit outside the agency, and jumps his old lieutenant Darius Stone (Ice Cube) out of a federal prison to become the new xXx. Gibbons is shortly kidnapped, and Darius has to recruit his own army from old contacts to save Uncle Sam. Scott Speedman, in spite of his role bieng quite short, has performed remarkably well as a Fed who helps Darius. One particular scene in which Speedman and Dafoe have a face-to-face confrontation is done especially well, by both of the actors. Ice
