Eye Candy #357 - "XXX State of the Union"

XXX State of the Union:  My boss and I had a bet on a business trip that each of us would try and find the worst DVD movie we could at a used DVD store. I picked this: "XXX State of the Union". He picked "Soul Plane". "Soul Plane", sadly, was better. Here is a movie that makes the first outlandish "XXX" movie look like a good idea. Ice Cube, as Darius Stone, is recruited by Samuel L. Jackson to save the life of the President from a military coup. Insert lame action set pieces, including a ridiculous convoy scene through the streets of D.C., shake vigorously, serve over ice, and you've got one heckuva lame movie. Lee Tamahori directed this waste of time, and he somehow continues to get work while being utterly unspectacular or consistent. It's hard to like a film that treats its audience like they all ride the short bus. Woodchuck sez, "Utter poo."
