'Action Point' is Johnny Knoxville's fictional take on the real life Action Park, the notorious amusement park in Vernon, New Jersey, that was largely considered to be amongst the most dangerous ever conceived.
If Johnny Knoxville had grown up a Jersey kid, Action Park would've surely been his Shangri-La. But the fictionalized story just doesn't do either justice.
The narrative is about as simple as it can possible get. And there aren't enough Jackass-type stunts to make up for the lack of a compelling story. So the movie--like Johnny--ends up falling on its back.
