Director Mr.Prabhu Deva work is good. Story has lots of things, which go overboard. Dialogues by Shiraz Ahmed, are OK. Screenplay by Prabhudeva, Shiraz Ahemed and A.C Mughil, offers something new. First half entertains only due to innovative approach of most of the scenes. The main track of luck factor is logical and comical both. Even they try to convey few messages through it. Messages are subtle but good. In the scene, when a kid got refused admission from school on the basis of illiterate father, then the way hero convinces the Principal is appealing. Fighting style with music beats is also new and entertaining. Interval point indicates that now movie is ready to land in the illogical and unnecessary violence area. The main conflict in second half is unreliable. A person never became ready to take risk of his life only for humanity ground and even with his friend. Yeah, we got some comical relief in second half due to this duo but there was no logic at all and it downgraded the villain character too. Climax fight is just like cake walk rather than some brain game in action sequences or in screenplay. Performance wise Ajay Devgan will surprise you with his unique and entertaining style of dancing. He is candidly endearing. Sonakshi Sinha looks beautiful and fits completely in her bubbly character. Yami Gautem looks pretty and acts good. Kunal Roy Kapoor is very good. Manasvi Mamgai as Marina, wears perfect attitude and expression. Music by Himesh Reshmmiya is good and choreography makes it very good.

I would like to kick off this review by saying 'PLEASE AVOID THIS MOVIE'. This movie is completely bland and has nothing to offer. The plot is missing, acting is atrocious and dancing is redonkulous. I respectfully implore Prabhu Deva to come to his senses and stop this malarkey. The movie showcases Sonakshi Sinha as a Barbie doll (once again, huh) strutting across the screen being gullible to the extent of appearing pathetic. However she does show some great dance moves. Yami Gautam has a very small role to play most of which includes appearing as an arm-candy for AJ. She appears dolled up all the time. Things stretch too far when she appears in a hospital bed with lipstick and gloss. Got to take care of looks, huh Yami !!! Anand Raj portrays the role of main antagonist. His bald look with an odd tattoo appeared laughable. Kunaal Roy Kapur, frankly was the only saving point of this horrendous affair. His goofy appearance and funny dialogue delivery were the only saving grace for the movie. Although I have to agree that he went over the top a few too many times. AJ - Me Criminally Good. Movie Pitifully Bad.

Action Jackson is a story of Vishi and AJ fighting against bad goons and bashing them as they are hunting down AJ and his family.. Every Movie has it's pluses and minuses but here biggest plus is superb performance by Ajay Devgan and in some parts by Manasvi Mamgai who impresses in her debut she can go far. Sonakshi Sinha and Yami Gautam do the usual.It's direction where the film falls for Prabhudeva at least when compared to his own standard he gave in Wanted and Rowdy Rathore. Even the script is predictable but it's engaging screenplay which makes it quite intriguing. Dialogues are also worthy and even though film drags it never boring. Biggest drawback is the films predicability and the film at times films like there is no story only masala. This might be because the film was made keeping only the masses in mind. Overall it's a typical Masala Hindi film with good comedy thanks to Kunal Roy Kapoor, great action Devgns sword fight is to look out for, and some romance. A decent screenplay and good music makes it a fair venture. The film has no real good story, and this a complete critic free film because its a leave your brain at home affair.Go for it if you are Ajay Devgan or masala film fan.

Prabhu Deva, whom I admired a lot as the ace dancer of the world, after Michael Jackson, has come back as a director with another film called 'Action Jackson'. Wonder why you ask, it is because of two reasons:- 1) Ajay Devgn is playing the titular character, and 2) It has loads of action (evident from the trailers itself) and the cast of the movie dance like Jackson (I couldn't witness that in the 3-hours of migraine-inducing movie, though) Without further yak-yak, let's analyze the plot. The film starts off with the entry of Vishy (Ajay Devgn) in his regular fashion that's combined with élan and style. For reasons unexplained till almost the interval, Vishy is at the target point of many goons who follow him left, right and center to bump him off. As if this wasn't enough, there comes Khushi (Sonakshi Sinha) who 'experiences good luck' in succession after seeing Vishy 'family jewels'. With this, Vishy adds one more 'stalker' to his list! It's only towards the interval that the audiences get to know that Vishy has a doppelganger by the name of 'AJ', who by profession is a killer. And then it becomes clear that the goons actually mistook Vishy to be AJ and hence followed him everywhere. And when AJ and Vishy meet, the former explains the reason to the latter and his friend (Kunaal Roy Kapur) that since he refused to marry the dreaded goon and mafia kingpin Xavier (Anand Raj)'s highly obsessed sister Marina (debutante Manasvi Mamgai), the goons are out to kill him and the love of his life Anusha (Yami Gautam). Tracking down AJ in India, Xavier sends his henchmen to India to kill AJ, which is when AJ devises a plot with the help of Vishy to destroy Xavier and his crazy sister Marina and protect his wife and new born baby. Does the simple man Vishy say yes to be a part of this risk taking plan and go to meet Marina in a foreign country, does the dreaded villain Xavier get to know about the plan of the duo, does AJ get to save the love of his life and does Khushi become truly lucky and unite with Vishy again is what forms the rest of the story. After directing the intermittenly likable 'Wanted', quite forgivable 'Rowdy Rathore', chirpy-sweet-old-fashioned 'Ramaiya Vastavaiya', regressive and stupid 'R... Rajkumar', Prabhu Deva has dished out yet another regressive and migraine-inducing 'Action Jackson'. For all the reasons, this film will surely be banned, if there are sensible people to do so. For the reasons are:- a) Which educated woman on this world will find a man's crotch lucky for her career and her life. Women council, please take some 'action' against this movie. b) Why should we get awestruck by a kid who asks,'how many alphabets are there in English language'. Suckers would get awestruck, not me. And for information, there is just one alphabets, which has 26 letters to it. c) And there is a lady (debutante Manasvi Mamgai) who removes her shirt at the drop of a hat. What are you, lady Salman Khan? At least Ajay Devgn has a legit reason for stripping, as he has developed his abs, you don't even have that! d) Which girl on Earth would tolerate all the atrocities of the hero, including him abusing her house, and still love her? Is she a slut? And the list goes on, and on, and on. I have no problem with the film insulting our intelligence, even most of the Salman Khan starrers have committed such a sin, and I forgave these films. But what is appalling that women, in this movie, are portrayed as bimbos-with-a-tinge-of-slutty-attitude. This is the second movie after 'R... Rajkumar', where women are portrayed like this. Story-screenplay (A. C. Mughil, Prabhu Deva) is non-existent. Dialogues (Shiraz Ahmed) are abysmal. Cinematography (Vijay Kumar Arora, R. D. Rajashekhar) is jarring and shaky. VFX (Prime Focus World) is laughable and non-sensical. Editing (Bunty Nagi) is choppy and lacks cohesion. Stunts (Ravi Varma) are non-sensical. Music (Himesh Reshammiya) is just forgettable. Choreography (Vishnu Deva, U. Jogasekhar, VJ Sekhar) is just appallingly atrocious. Of the cast, no one acted well, especially Yami Gautam and Ajay Devgn. On the whole, 'Action Jackson' is for those who swear by entertainers like those stupid 80's South-Indian movies or those stupid 80's movies of Bollywood or movies like 'R... Rajkumar'. Please avoid it.

Story: Vishi is a local goon who basically likes beating up people to get his work done but is nonetheless a kind-hearted person. On the other hand Khushi is an extremely clumsy girl who keeps losing her chances with destiny and gets suddenly lucky after she accidentally meets Vishi. Amidst the building chemistry between Khushi and Vishi, local cops and an international don named Xavier are on the look-out for AJ aka Jai who is a look alike of Vishi and is in the same city. The story takes a major turn of events when both AJ and Vishi come face to face. Will AJ's past create problems for Vishi's future? Performances: Ajay Devgn is a huge disappointment in this film. The otherwise brilliant actor seems too volatile in this role. Though he excels in the scenes which have action, the actor does not seem comfortable pulling off the comic undertones and it would be best left unsaid for the parts that he tries the 'Prabhudheva' style dancing. This is Sonakshi Sinha's third film with the director and sadly she shows no growth whatsoever. The actress essays her usual self and nothing extraordinary to it. Yami Gautam looks radiant in every frame that she is a part of. Debutante Manasvi Mamgai reveals quite a lot with her negative character. But her acting is extremely weak and it would be safe to say that you would find her heaving much more than speaking in the film. Direction Editing

This could have been an entertainingly retro comic-book revenge saga, especially because it has a dashing bad girl who has more screen time, and much more neon-lit presence, than everyone else in the flick . But Prabhu Dheva doesn't have the skill-sets to instill the that knowing edge into his material; he shows no awareness, in fact, that it is risible. From the first scene to the last, Action Jackson is cringe-inducing film that revels in scraping the bottom of the barrel.Action Jackson, a surefire Golden Kela contender, could give Humshakals a run for its money. Give it a miss. It is an uneven, tacky, cheesy actioner, a film that has much going catastrophically wrong but it is also -- surprise, surprise -- at times incredibly zany . 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. Skip the first half and smuggle in a quart of something bitter, and you'll be just fine. Action Jackson has every ingredient his films have -- mindless story, gravity-defying action, clichéd dialogues and funny-looking villains. To put it briefly, watch Action Jackson if you are a Prabhudheva or Ajay Devgan 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 theaters'. ACTION JACKSON being a Bollywood film, the look and feel of the film is that of loud South Indian films. While the film drags in the first half endlessly, the second half too barely has anything in it to hold the audience's attention. The film has no script whatsoever and has been put together haphazardly on the editing table glued together which nonsensical graphics and animation. On the whole, ACTION JACKSON is a highly avoidable affair. Several heads are decapitated and torsos slashed in action drama Action Jackson, but it's the viewers who feel the pain. There's no easier way to say this: but Ajay Devgan's latest film is traumatic and is an endurance test of the worst kind.There's no redeeming feature in Action Jackson, a film that's purely self-indulgent. Skip it. So 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 Devgan. 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!!
