Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyJun 1, 2018
Even the stunts – the whole raison d’etre of a movie like this – seem tame and staged. It cheaps out on the good stuff. And for a movie with so little going for it besides the threat of danger, there’s no excuse for Action Point to play it this safe. Read full review

Paste MagazineOktay Ege Kozak Jun 12, 2018
Such a thin plot from some of the Jackass guys would have been completely forgiven, or even blissfully ignored, if the stunts were on par, or at least close to, what we expect from these guys. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshJun 1, 2018
For all of the manic anti-authoritarian energy that Knoxville and pals generate in Action Point, it’s not directed at anything, which renders it meaningless and leaves the film to fizzle out like a deflated balloon. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter TraversJun 1, 2018
A few primo bits sneak through.... But mostly we’re watching the bawdy life being drained out of a once subversive franchise. Action Point is the first Jackass-related movie to play it safe. Now that is truly painful. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJun 1, 2018
There are so few laughs in this thing that it’d have been a shame had somebody gotten hurt making us laugh at their pain. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichJun 1, 2018
For most of its interminable runtime, Action Point feels like a porno that deliberately ruins the sex scenes in order to stop you from fast-forwarding through the plot. Read full review
