Fantastic!

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This movie deserve rate more than 5..nice songs..nice story

Following Prabhudeva's fixed pattern of opening the film with a supposedly entertaining mix of action, romance and few songs having some surprising cameos, ACTION JACKSON actually reveals its storyline of lookalikes post 50 minutes of the film. And then has got nothing great to offer in terms of content apart from a well shot, brutal & bloody fight sequence just before the intermission. Sharing my personal experience of watching this terrible attempt, at first I thought that a weirdly dancing Ajay Devgun is having great fun here that should ideally build up later offering some fine enjoyable moments. But as the film moved further, I realized that this was in turn a great ham show put together by all the renowned names which is sure going to find one of the top places in the next "Golden Kela Awards" for the worst movie of the year unarguably.To give you the exact idea about the amazing hamming sequences shot by the team hilariously, just sample the following and then give it a thought that how could such big names of the industry could even think of doing it on the screen in the name of entertainment. (Spoilers Ahead)A. The leading lady accidentally gets to see the private parts of our hero and assumes that it is her lucky charm. So this is the romantic angle of the movie (involving all educated new age girls) to be rated as cheeky, cheap, disgusting or vulgar as per your own choice.B. A scene dealing with the problem of primary school admissions has a principal who behaves more like a Kirana shop-keeper, undeservingly sitting at the reputed post.C. The actions sequences go on throwing, stabbing, killing dozens of people like vegetables both in the country as well as abroad and our Police is more interested in working for the criminals than the government they wear their uniform for. D. The two lookalikes are so overconfident that one even decides to go to Bangkok in place of the other along with his friend without any official hassles at all.E. Our hero narrates his tragic story in the flashback, recalling the incidents which actually happened in his absence, as if he had the power of a gifted third eye.F. A pregnant woman is stabbed pretty badly but she delivers a healthy baby later on surviving a 'big final operation' which is never shown. Also our hero's funny friend gets brutally stabbed in the back only to return looking perfectly fine in the end.G. Played by an ambitious actress, the film also has the most hamming lip-lock sequence ever with the girl kissing the hero's funny friend only, to know the hero's whereabouts.H. Despite having a reputed name in the lyrics department, AJ has some outrageously written songs such as "Surya Ast Punjabi Mast" (What do you mean by that really???),"Tujhse Milne Ka Keeda Ander Hai" (Now we have fallen down to the 'Keeda' level) and"Chhichhora Piya" revealing our foolish journey from "Dagabaaz Piya" to this disgraceful phrase calling the lover Chhichhora. (How could you even approve these dear Prabhudeva and Ajay Devgun?)I. Along with a badly written, rotten script (can we even call it a script taking everything from here and there?) the film has some sick punch lines mocking two earlier cult hits WANTED and AGNEEPATH. Whereas in reality it is not even close to 'The Commitment' and far, far away from 'The Appointment' quite shamelessly.J. The background score is another of those strong hamming elements of ACTION JACKSON, that turns out to be hugely loud as well as funny instead of terrifying at regular intervals. K. Adding to the technical hamming, the over excessive use of illogical animation and special effects in the film's editing is so 'at your face' that it seems as if the editor has used this opportunity to showcase everything he had got in his editing machines and then tried to make a personal show-reel out of the film, acting smartly.L. Coming to the performances, they all force you to question their cinematic intelligence loudly as Ajay Devgun seems to be all confused doing nothing new in the film apart from his weird, over confident 'left foot dancing'. Sonakshi Sinha looks like acting clever while giving her interviews only because the girl has done all exactly similar roles till date except LOOTERE. In straight words, If they are not offering you something different then who is stopping you to refuse all these stupid, identical roles one after another dear Sonakshi? Yami Gautam suffers again due to a bad project and we cannot really blame her completely since who can refuse a Prabhudeva film (with such reputation) as her third assignment only in the industry. The debutante Manasvi tries showcasing her every asset to grab your attention in vain along with those never seen before hamming villains contributing nothing. So among all these non-performers there is only Kunaal Roy Kapur doing a repetitive yet entertaining role of Ajay's friend generating some kind of laughter in his few sequences.In all, ACTION JACKSON seriously made me think that did Ajay Devgun & Prabhudeva really had to do this, stooping to such a low? OR Do they have all reached their saturation point in reality, having nothing left in them creatively, hence trying these ridiculous mix-n-match remakes in order to skip the hard work of experimenting with some new subjects and scripts.

Ajay Devgn is not wrong choice to play AJ but he definitely should have avoided dance numbers and no so comedy scenes in 1st half of the movie. This movie had potential to be very serious type along with good humor which was there on 2nd part the jokes came along with movement in story so it's fine but jokes in 1st part was neither funny nor connected with the story. I do not understand the role and importance of Sonaksi in the movie, other two heroines were good. The vamp has done an excellent work considering it's her 1st movie. I loved the movie in 2nd part - and sometimes you need to have right tempo in a movie from start, this movie actually takes start after an hour and that's where none is interested. Prabhu is known for dance numbers, jokes but here they are too loud. Also some scenes will not attract family audience and Ajay is a star where families come in numbers as he does clean comedy (barring few :))Overall, if you are an Ajay fan then go thru torture of an hour in movie and then this film will take off and will keep you entertain till end.

I said disappointing for a reason and that is, when you see a film starred by Ajay Devgan, Directed By Prabhu Deva, You naturally start to think that the film should be 'Interesting, A Must Watch' Should Be Good' that kind of thoughts easily comes to our mind because we expect something different something spectacular to be delivered, But if we can't get that then disappointment comes naturally and that is obvious.I'm not saying that the film was Bakwaas, Total Crap, Utterly Disgusting like the other reviewers here. But I'm sorry to say that it was truly not enough to be memorable one. Let me come to the details first..There are several Pros and Cons, I'll try to enlist as much as possible...So?Let's come to the points quickly...Cons....1. Music was Average {Could've been better}.2. First half was something fresh but looks dull with silly dialogs and witty expressions.3. I personally think Kunaal Roy Kapur's character was unnecessary and was totally wasted.4. Sonakshi Sinha was good in her part of role but seems to be repetitive.5. The Main Antagonist does not look like a villain at all. He misses the charm of Bad Character. {Prakash Raj Would've been a better choice}.6. Editing was fuzzy.7. The film has 2 Hour and 26 Mins of Run Time and that is something that feels dragged a little bit.Now the {+} points...Pros....1. New type of actions were great to watch. Action Sequences were executed properly.2. Ajay Devgan truly justified his role, I doubt if any other actor can carry the role to that level.3. Yami Gautam acted very well in her small but effective role.4. Even the leading bad lady, I mean Manasvi {She's damn hot really :D} did her job well.5. I did not like the first half, actually it was slow and dull but the second half was good and catches up the pace it needs.After all if you are either a Ajay Devgan or Prabhu Deva Fan then You should watch it, you will enjoy the film, but don't keep so much expectations as I did :{ you will be disappointed as much as I am now!!!
