Action Jackson

REVIEW
Weathers stars as the title character in this stiffly acted but ultimately satisfying panoply of car chases, explosions and fistfights. Weathers' Jackson is an ex-cop who is determined to uncover the evil doings of an unscrupulous businessman (Nelson) who had been the instrument of Jackson's fall from grace. Vanity is the token dame who accompanies Weathers on his vengeful rampage. A pyrotechnical juggernaut that is short on script and short on ideas, but so what. It's enjoyable, combustible fun nonetheless.
