Action Jackson

Nothing made sense especially the bad guys motive WTF

Action Jackson review:

The hero of this film (Devgn) seems to be some sort of "Adonis". Ladies go weak in knees just seeing him cat walk in slo mo. One of them (Sonakshi) inadvertently catches him without pants on and wants to glimpse his private organ again and again for good luck. Next, we have a psychopathic cocaine snorting sister of a Thai gangster who lusts for him even as he is saving her from getting gang raped. Clearly, sense, logic, clean humor are conspicuous by their absence in this Prabhu Dheva directed action mumbo jumbo. The attempt is to cater to the lowest common denominator of the audience (namely the front benchers, masses....whatever u call them).

The film's plot is merely a filler between the numerous fight sequences and item numbers. Influences can be traced to diverse materials from Prabhu Dheva's own "Rowdy Rathore" to Mahesh Bhatt's Srk starrer "Chhahat" to even Quentin Tarantinos "Kill Bill". Admittedly, the action scenes are superbly executed. Also, the choreography proves once again that Prabhu sir is still the boss as far as dance is concerned.

Coming to performances, Ajay Devgn seems to be having fun excelling in the fight sequences and gamely fitting into Prabhu Dheva's dance steps. He plays to the gallery cleverly understanding the OTT nature of the project he's nodded to lead. Sonakshi Sinha and Yami Gautam have precious little to do. In fact, debutante Manasvi Mamgai leaves an impression playing the vamp cum item girl with astounding boldness and conviction. The main villain (Tamil actor Anantharaj) acts as if he time travelled from the 80s era; possibly was a sidekick of Shaakaals and Mogambos of yore.

Final word of advice: Go for it if you like nothing more than action and skin!

As I begin writing my views on Parbhudeva's Action Jackson, the thought that do come to mind is that how silly and crap a movie can be made with massive budget , high cost production and popular star cast ? There are movies like Queen and Gangs Of Wasseypur with high quality content and shoe string budget and yet managed to impress the audience. Why do spend money on useless script and horrible stories and yet actors like Ajay Devgan are working with him ?

Action Jackson is a masala entertainment telling the story of 2 look-alike. Life changes when they cross each other's part.

From the critical acclaimed Wanted and entertainers like Rowdy Rathore and R..Rajkumar to disaster movie like Ramaiya Vastavaiya in which the definition of Story, Script and direction does not fit it. In Action Jackson, you will wonder how amateurish can Prabhudeva get. Imagine a scene where Sonakshi Sinha wants her luck to change only if she can see Ajay Devagan's g-part again. Editing is horrible. The torture goes on for almost 3 hours. Art direction is good. Cinematography is nice. Songs are pathetic. Ajay Devgan disappoints and disappoints big time. An actor of his calibre should be doing better films.

Overall, a pathetic film in every sense. Poor- 1/5

I have been a fan of Masala films like Dabanng and Main Hoon Na but this one failed to lie in that genre. The execution and story of the movie were both atrocious to say the least. Very choppy editing that I have ever seen in my life. The action scenes are one of the biggest letdowns in the movie. The music is so ridiculous that made me thinking what HR had in his mind when being offered as a composer for Action Jackson. Ajay Devgan's performance is like Tiger Shroff and Fardeen Khan combined only in this movie although he previously did well in his other movies. I still remembered that cheesy line when Sonakshi said to Ajay that you dance better than Prabhu Deva. After hearing Punjabi Mast, yeah he sure does!!! Manasvi Mamgai was attractive in the movie but she had bad taste in acting her role. Prabhu Deva should leave the film directing sector and just stick to making peoples bodies move because that is the only thing he is good at. Lights, Camera, and Action and Prabhu Deva, there is a huge difference on how he does it.

This film overall was an atrocity and a disgrace to North Indian Cinema and the world.

Half way through Action Jackson..the following questions popped up in my mind

1) What on earth is Prabhudeva smoking ? To be frank, Devgn is a double role on paper is a good idea but everything is lost after that.

2) Why does Prabhudeva want to torture us with such films? Last yr..it was R Rajkumar and now Action Jackson?

3) Why does Sonakshi Sinha and Yami Gautam act is such non sense films? Frankly both are decent actress but Action Jackson is a blot on their careers.

4) What is Kunal Roy Kapoor doing in this film ?

5) And, finally...why Ajay ? Why r u acting in such crap films ? You once did some fabulous films. But now Rascals, Son of Sardaar, Himmatwala and now Action Jackson are just undoing the gr8 work u did till date.

This movie may not be injurious to your health but definitely to your mind !! Stay away.
