Simran Hans Observer (UK) An alcoholic bear certainly made me crack a smile. But the subplot involving DC's attempts to bring up his 14-year-old daughter is a saccharine afterthought... Rated: 2/5 Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review You're better off watching the documentary that inspired the film in the first place than watching the film itself. Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) Action Point doesn't bother with much in the way of a plot. Rated: 2/5 Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) Action Point is told through flashbacks as Johnny Knoxville dons his Bad Grandpa makeup to tell his granddaughter about the time when he used to run the anarchic theme park of the same name. Too bad the audience is in for the ride too. Rated: 1/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review David Gonzalez The Cinematic Reel Action Point is as agonizing of a film experience I’ve had all year. A year that has already had its share of agonizing experiences with 50 Shades Freed leading the way. The story of Action Park deserved better and Action Point certainly was not that. Rated: 1/4 Jan 31, 2023 Full Review Cory Woodroof 615 Film Action Point is Knoxville's The Shootist, or perhaps his Unforgiven. It's kind of a lukewarm movie, but it's also got moments of beauty and melancholy for what it means for those involved. Feb 11, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

KerryWhite's S Rating: 6/10. 62/100 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Paul S Like jackass just not funny boring too and attempts to be heart warming succeeded like eating a 💩 stale sandwich Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Terri N This movie was great! It was recounting the horrors of Action Park. Yes what happened was bad but retelling the history and recounting the fun that teens back then had at the time, is a great relic of the past. And Johnny Knoxville was the one to do it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/04/23 Full Review Audience Member It was ok overall, a little disappointing as it was just more juvenile humour like jackass with a few laughs in it, but it was a good idea based on a true story that had potential Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review ashley h Action Point is a boring film. It is about a daredevil designs and operates his own theme park with his friends. Johnny Knoxville and Eleanor Worthington-Cox give disappointing performances. The screenplay is badly written. Tim Kirkby did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Action Point by Johnny Knoxville is actually a guilty pleasure of mine. The plot isn't the greatest along with everything else, but the one thing I loved in this film were the stunts. For someone who enjoys watching Jackass, this might not be the movie for you however, some moments left me laughing on the floor and cringing ( In a good way) from the impact from Johnny's stunts, and some looked really painful to do as well. Maybe my love for theme parks, the history of theme and water parks, and stunts might give me a bit of a bias towards this film, but in any case I recommend you watch it if you see it on sell somewhere or have the opportunity to watch it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
