Action Jackson

"Action Jackson is a drinking game of a film, one well over the so-bad-it's-good line, its main merit being that in a sea of superstar-massaging vehicles, it holds some genuine surprises -- and makes sure its hero looks like a jackass."

"It's as much fun as getting your privates stuck in your zipper."

"Action Jackson, a surefire Golden Kela contender, could give Humshakals a run for its money. Give it a miss."

"The last Prabhu Dheva outing, 'R Rajkumar', was so unbearable that I thought I would be scarred for life. 'Action Jackson' is almost as vile: the only reason I stuck around was to see if Ajay Devgn would start making like Prabhu Dheva by the end. No, he doesn't."

"I've seen plenty of bad films this year but Action Jackson raises the bar on awful. I'm sure I've lost a few brain cells with this one. I request you to stay at home — I have suffered it so you don't have to."

"There's suspension of disbelief, and there's Action Jackson—where suspension climbs to the top of Everest, moonwalks and floats into the stratosphere strapped with eardrum-shattering jetpacks. Not usually my cuppa, but perhaps this one time, it is. With a shot of rum."

"If you're not looking for a mentally stimulating fare, enjoy this ride that is basically meant for the filmi keedas."

"The film is worth a watch strictly for the cast and the songs. That's if you're willing to endure the unbelievably long and violent film for that. Clearly, Prabhu Dheva (Wanted, R…Rajkumar, Rowdy Rathore) is in no mood to let go of the stale Bollywood formula. And as the audience, you can either play along or move on!"

"A must-watch for die-hard Ajay Devgn fans, Action Jackson has intense fight scenes and foot-tapping songs, but lacks logic! The film features a wonderful cast and a few one-liners that make up for the missing elements. Nevertheless, Action Jackson is full of mindless comedy and if you're looking for a fun film this weekend, you can probably give this action drama a try!"

"Movie-goers expect to get entertained while watching a movie. Alas, 'Action Jackson' doesn't even have an iota of entertainment quotient. Watch the movie only if you are an Ajay Devgn Fan!"

"Action Jackson matches up to neither Prabhudheva's film making nor an Ajay Devgn film. It is an extreme downer for those expecting a full on action-packed 'masala' film. With a done to death plot and an absolutely nothing new to offer, the only thing that this film latches onto is Ajay Devgn who maintains his swagger well enough."

"Action Jackson defies logic in every sequence. Screenplay defines absurd, characters unintentionally funny. Save your money."

"To put it briefly, watch Action Jackson if you are a Prabhudheva or Ajay Devgn fan, because otherwise there isn't a single dialogue you haven't heard and this is one of the films where they say 'Do not take your brains to the theatres'."

"If your idea of good action is shoving a sharp knife into someone's mouth, down his throat cutting his intestines. If your idea of good humour is a Sonakshi Sinha desperate to see a naked Ajay Devgn. And your idea of good music is songs like Keeda, Chichora Piya and Surya ast Punjabi mast, then, one, I am FURIOUSLY judging you. Two, I AM STILL JUDGING YOU!!"

"To hell with commitment or appointment; this one is pure punishment."

"People slap each other for no particular reason and women are punched in the face and if there was a race for pregnant women to run in high heels, Yami Gautam would win it hands down. Prabhudheva ji also tries to be a Tarantino and Roberto Rodriguez in the action scenes and needless to say, he fails."

"There's no redeeming feature in Action Jackson, a film that's purely self-indulgent. Skip it."

"Action Jackson is just action scenes and random songs put together to fill 145 minutes of screen time. This film is beyond repair."

"You know the film is called Action Jackson, and it will essentially be a series of stylized stunt and sexy song sequences. And it totally is. Yet, no one, really, no one, can adequately warn you against what to expect here."

"Endure this only if you are a true blue Ajay Devgn fan, otherwise revisit Rowdy Rathore, Prabu Deva's better version of Action Jackson."

"I've had enough films that are banking on one star's stardom to pull an entire 2-2.5 hour film through - be it Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan or my personal favorite Ajay Devgn. Sure most of them have either action, romance or a social message as the other anchor in the film. But, I know I've had enough. Aren't the actors done with these films that seem like it is more about them, the STAR?"

"After three hours (2 hours 25 minutes to be precise), which felt like eternity, the discombobulating was officially over. I hugged myself and advise that you do the same. What a waste!"

"Only a die-hard Ajay fan could walk out of the film without regretting the waste of time and money spent on the film."

"There are bad films, there are so-bad-they-are-good films. And then there is 'Action Jackson'. Bollywood has trained us well enough to know that we are not to use our grey cells one bit while watching films like 'Action Jackson'."

"Action Jackson is a vicious assault to the senses...Move over Humshakals and O Teri. The award for the worst film of the year goes to Action Jackson."
