The new trailer for xXx: Return of Xander Cage is a joyful smorgasboard of trashy nonsense, featuring a cast of thousands including Samuel L. Jackson, Toni Collette, Donnie Yen, and Ruby Rose.

Ignoring the apparent death of Xander Cage (Vin Diesel) in the CGI-filled disappointment xXx: State of the Union, this movie follows in the footsteps of the original xXx, leaning heavily on ludicrous stunts and one-liners.

After the grimness of 2016, this movie is exactly what everyone needs.
