10 Best 'Worst' Movies Of 2017 (So Far)

10. XXX: Return Of Xander Cage

The original XXX attempted to elevate Vin Diesel to the level of James Bond but instead made him seem more like Tommy Wiseau in The Room, with characters constantly reminding him how awesome he is. Women threw themselves at him seconds after their first meeting, henchmen trembled with fright when he appeared, and the world was a safer place with him in it.

Fifteen years later, Diesel returns as Xander Cage and he’s up to his usual outrageous shenanigans, skateboarding off the side of a bus, leaping over speeding cars in slow motion, and surfing on dirt bikes. For someone about to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, that’s pretty impressive.

Also around (and very welcome) are Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa, who at least make up for the film’s determination to engage in laugh out loud absurdity every ten minutes or so. There’s also a neat gag that explains what happened to Ice Cube’s character after the second movie, the Diesel-less XXX: State Of The Union, went belly up at the box office.
