The huge number of plot lines Ratner chose to cast wound up limiting the film, removing key emotional elements. A border-town sheriff pulls out the heavy artillery to prevent an escaped drug kingpin from blasting his way into Mexico in this sun-scorched action opus starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and directed by Kim Jee-Woon I Saw the Devil, The Good, the Bad, and the Weird. Jean Grey has returned, and joined with Magneto. At first it seems that Sheriff Owens' skeleton crew will be no match for Cortez's speeding juggernaut. .
Through length, plot numbers and music, X3 failed to properly and satisfyingly tie up the trilogy. The music did not add anything to the movie either, it seemed tacky and amateur. But when Owens decides to stand his ground with the help of Sommerton Junction's finest, Cortez comes up against an immovable force with enough firepower to stop him dead in his tracks. The plot itself is not convoluted, but there are numerous mini-plots for just about every other character in the film. Meanwhile, Agent John Bannister Forest Whitaker realizes that should Cortez manage to slip through Sommerton Junction, he may well be lost forever. .
