Vishal and Tamannaah starrer Action has plenty of action, no doubt. The film jumps, rolls and air flips from one chase-action sequence to another of which just a couple of them are memorable. Colonel Subash (Vishal) is introduced. As you might have guessed, this warrants a brief action stretch involving guns and chases. But not a single action block registers, for it is swiftly edited out even before making a lasting impact. If someone had commissioned Hari to write a full-blown action film, the result will look like the cartoonish scenes in Action.
The film is an action lover’s capital. If you love watching cars ram into each other, full grown men thrown to shatter glass walls and tables, buildings blow up while the main character does an insane flying jump, and all the dishkawn-dishkawn! Then Action will not disappoint. The story is just an afterthought. The less said about the most cliched plot, the better. The hero goes on a mission to avenge the death of someone close to him. (Hint): When a film stars two popular women actors, you know something untoward is going to happen to one of them. Also, Subash (Vishal) who is enrolled in the army, is Tamil Nadu Chief Minister’s second son.
When Yogi Babu comes on screen, it comes as a relief. He plays ‘Crack’ Jack, a professional hacker and has some funny lines in the beginning. His character is let off even though it might have been interesting to have had him around for longer. A hacker might come in handy in a film such as Action. But not to worry, everyone’s got a good knowledge of hacking/tracking in Action-verse.
