Action Point's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
As post-?Jackass? movies go, Action Point makes more of an effort to sandwich some plot between the literally painful slapstick comedy, but if you love that formula ? Knoxville falls off something, or into something, or has something projected at him, making him wince and then deliver his famous high-pitched giggle ? you?ll want a ticket to ride.
Variety
The trouble is, presenting all of this mayhem within the framework of a by-the-numbers father-daughter bonding story saps the stunts of their usual appeal.
Entertainment Weekly
Even the stunts ? the whole raison d?etre of a movie like this ? seem tame and staged. It cheaps out on the good stuff. And for a movie with so little going for it besides the threat of danger, there?s no excuse for Action Point to play it this safe.
Rolling Stone
Ouch! Do you really want to line up to see the bawdy life being sucked out of a once subversive franchise? 'Action Point' is the first Jackass-related movie to play it safe. Now that is truly painful.
Indiewire
For most of its interminable runtime, Action Point feels like a porno that deliberately ruins the sex scenes in order to stop you from fast-forwarding through the plot.
Los Angeles Times
For all of the manic anti-authoritarian energy that Knoxville and pals generate in 'Action Point', it's not directed at anything, which renders it meaningless and leaves the film to fizzle out like a deflated balloon.
