film-maker
DJ
Caruso,
who
has
delivered
a
fresh
outlook
on
the
action
through
his
latest
movie
xXx:
Return
Of
Xander
Cage,
says
escapism
from
reality
established
through
action
movies
connects
people
more
than
any
other
genre.
"I
think
it's
sort
of
the
idea
of
that
risk-taker
or
that
energy
that
we
all
think
we
have
inside
of
us,
that
we
all
want
to
push,
"said
DJ
Caruso
in
a
statement.
"What
would
it
feel
like
to
jump
out
of
an
airplane?
What
does
it
feel
like
to
go
ninety
miles
an
hour?
It's
the
fantasy
and
the
escapism
cinema
allows
us," added
the
director.
The
director
who
has
pulled
off
some
astonishing
stunts
in
his
movie
xXx,
says
it
is
important
to
invent
and
improvise
always.
Bringing
diversities
in
the
arena
of
action
genre
is
always
Caruso
is
on
the
lookout.
"It's
important
to
push
that
particular
envelope.
If
there's
a
familiarity
in
a
motorcycle
chase,
this
is
on
the
water.
If
there's
a
familiarity
with
skis,
we
use
them
in
the
jungle," stated
Caruso.
"I
always
fantasized
about
having
a
great
sort
of
fight
in
traffic
on
a
moving
road
where
traffic
is
racing
by,
and
so
that
was
really
fun." The
director
added.
"I
thought
okay,
you've
seen
elements
of
it
before,
but
maybe
not
quite
like
this
with
Donnie
Yen
doing
his
style
of
kicking
and
Vin
being
the
extreme
athlete
leaping
cars."
Caruso
concluded.
