Action Jackson

No Spoilers.

There are many things that fly in this movie, including Sonakshi.

The movie has pathetic script... unnecessary dialogs. What i could not understand is that "there was nothing to understand" in this movie. Ajay can not dance but is made to dance. The first half is OK but beware of second half. Action sequences defy Physics.

Only saving grace is Yamy Gautam and Kunal Roy Kapur. They both have justified their roles. Yami looks fresh and energetic. Movie songs and background score is pathetic and not appealing. Composed with a feeling of loose character.

Please stay away... watch only on TV release, where u can fast-forward it and waste less time! :)

Cheers!

Action Jackson is an action thriller film directed by Prabhu Deva. The film stars Ajay Devgn, Sonakshi Sinha, Yami Gautam, Manasvi Mamgain, Kunaal Roy Kapur and Anandaraj.

A small-time goon falls in love with a clumsy girl. Before the two lovers can embark on a romantic journey, he comes face-to-face with his lookalike.

Prabhu Deva made a block buster film Rowdy Rathore and it seems that he is not coming out of the hangover of that film as the plot and execution of this film is very similar of that film but this film is less entertaining, more irritating and jokes are just flat. There are some positives with the film such as beautiful cinematography, choreographed action scenes and acting of Ajay Devgn but all this is overshadowed by a weak storyline, pathetic direction, loud BGM, terrible execution and above all Sonakshi Sinha who just irritates whenever she is on screen.

The plot of the film is similar to Rowdy Rathore and execution is almost similar but as mentioned earlier this film is less funny, less entertaining and more irritating.

Screenplay of the film is average. Acting is superb by Ajay Devgn and apart from Ajay Devgn, Yami Gautam was to much extent impressive, Kunal Roy Kapur was average, Manasvi tries hard but fails to impress, Anandaraj was badly underused and Sonakshi Sinha irritates to the core. It's high time that she should understand that acting is not her cup of tea and try her hands in anything apart from acting.

The climax of the film is very violent and brutal, typical action lovers and hardcore fans of Ajay devgn will like this film for others a terrible film to watch.

If it were only a fraction of its length, "Action Jackson" would be of the sort of perfectly-bad movies ideal for riotously ripping into with a group of snarky-sarcastic friends. However, its 3 hour run time turns it into a psychologically torturous endurance test as it drags its dead carcass through enough plot clichés and randomly thrown-in twists for four films.

Viewers lured in with the promise of a meet-cute Bollywood rom-com, will be confused and horrified when the body count reaches in the high hundreds. "Action Jackson" is actually a bizarre amalgamation of two Bollywood rom-coms, a stereotypical assassin- turned-good-guy out for revenge flick, and the Parent Trap. But with 007 Bond villains (I will admit, I enjoyed the super-campy villains). However, instead of a cohesive blending of these elements, it feels as if the random limbs from at least four different films were amateurishly hacked-off and thrown into a pile to rot together and produce this...thing.

Watch an old guy with obviously CGIed abs (they move up and down on their own!) play not one, but two, action heroes badly, as he poses like a teen model every chance he gets and speaks only in garbled, bizarre, one-liners ("It's my way, or the Skyway." "Me, criminally bad." are some of the gems) and flirts with two much younger, extremely similar women the plot keeps forgetting about.

The dancing is bad and makes no sense with the plot half the time, the lines are dubbed as poorly as an old kung-foo film and sometimes not translated at all, and most parts are so laughably wretched that you will openly mock the movie in order to stay sane.

I nearly cried when I discovered there was still over an hour left.

People walked out of the theater.

"Action Jackson" could have been "the Room" of the Indian film industry, but is so long and crappy, it really isn't worth bothering with.

Nothing made sense especially the bad guys motive WTF

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
