When it comes to crime, police sergeant Jericho Jackson takes no prisoners in his bare-knuckled battle against the underworld forces that threaten his city, a reputation that his earned him the name Action Jackson. Carl Weathers stars as Jackson, who takes on tycoon Peter Dellaphane (Craig T. Nelson) as the magnate plots to leverage his money and power into political control over the city. Now, only one man stands between Dellaphane's industrial/criminal machine and control of city hall--Action Jackson.

Joe Leydon

This is slambang escapism, rude and rambunctious, impure and simple. As such, it’s the best Saturday night movie since "Lethal Weapon."

One more example of an insignificant movie made to entertain those who like forceful punches and accurate shootings. [Full Review in Spanish]

[ Weathers] shows here what one had long suspected from his Rocky debut: an attractive personality with more than enough charisma to fill the screen in a worthier film than this.

It's cuckoo bananas, crazy. It's entertaining at the same time, because it's so crazy...but it is not a good movie, and I know this might be blasphemy, but Carl Weathers actually lacks a lot of charisma here...

It's just fun to talk about. Vanity is beautiful in this...it's an easy way to pass the time.
