Action and skin.
Action Jackson review:
The hero of this film (Devgn) seems to be some sort of "Adonis". Ladies go weak in knees just seeing him cat walk in slo mo. One of them (Sonakshi) inadvertently catches him without pants on and wants to glimpse his private organ again and again for good luck. Next, we have a psychopathic cocaine snorting sister of a Thai gangster who lusts for him even as he is saving her from getting gang raped. Clearly, sense, logic, clean humor are conspicuous by their absence in this Prabhu Dheva directed action mumbo jumbo. The attempt is to cater to the lowest common denominator of the audience (namely the front benchers, masses....whatever u call them).
The film's plot is merely a filler between the numerous fight sequences and item numbers. Influences can be traced to diverse materials from Prabhu Dheva's own "Rowdy Rathore" to Mahesh Bhatt's Srk starrer "Chhahat" to even Quentin Tarantinos "Kill Bill". Admittedly, the action scenes are superbly executed. Also, the choreography proves once again that Prabhu sir is still the boss as far as dance is concerned.
Coming to performances, Ajay Devgn seems to be having fun excelling in the fight sequences and gamely fitting into Prabhu Dheva's dance steps. He plays to the gallery cleverly understanding the OTT nature of the project he's nodded to lead. Sonakshi Sinha and Yami Gautam have precious little to do. In fact, debutante Manasvi Mamgai leaves an impression playing the vamp cum item girl with astounding boldness and conviction. The main villain (Tamil actor Anantharaj) acts as if he time travelled from the 80s era; possibly was a sidekick of Shaakaals and Mogambos of yore.
Final word of advice: Go for it if you like nothing more than action and skin!
