They start to drag in some very loose allegations, most especially about Mulvihill's mob connections, that seem like late additions, never quite keying in to the story as told... Yet what a story.

[Class Action Park] feels like a time capsule, and I'm glad we have that time capsule because Action Park isn't coming back, nor should it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 4, 2020

It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

Everything about Action Park could kill you. And it sometimes did, as the wittily appalling HBO documentary "Class Action Park" makes clear.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 31, 2020

Despite the many jaw-dropping anecdotes here, it's a highly plausible ode to the heedlessness of humanity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 28, 2020

After a wild ride of shocks and laughs, Action Park ends with a knowing jolt that refuses to let its audience walk away without an ache.

| Aug 27, 2020

A sharp, funny, and bizarrely responsible documentary.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 27, 2020

| Aug 27, 2020

For all its attempts to build itself into something more substantive, it's still a day at the theme park.

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 27, 2020

Narrated quite drolly by comedian John Hodgman, Class Action Park is very funny in its dark way.

| Aug 26, 2020

A giddy but not unserious exploration of one man's dream that became a sort of rogue-Six Flags reality.

| Original Score: B+ | Aug 26, 2020

Like the park it captures, everything in this film is fun and games right up until the moment someone gets seriously injured.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 21, 2020
