Action Jackson

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.

Nothing made sense especially the bad guys motive WTF

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.

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.
