'Return of Xander Cage', as the name suggests, returns to
stunt-CGI-action to provide it's adrenaline rush. This is basically
Diesel's show and he is well aided by the stunt choreography, CGI
action and editing speed. But don't go by looks. There's not much
energy in the telling here and the confused narrative totally sidelines
logic. The narrative is segmented and even the action is cut and joined
together in a million places. So there's no smooth progressive
transition happening in the action set-pieces. It is a film borne out
of extensive market surveys: in its dismissal of the ideas of
nationhood and politics. Very Sad that Deepika Padukone couldn't make
an outstanding Hollywood Debut.
