I was going dismissively say, "I don't like it because I don't like it," but I've since come up with a few reasons. Lyrically, "Action" seems low-brow, incomplete, and about something unimportant. I agree that "it sounds confident, feisty, and kind of cocky" - and I generally dislike that in songs and people. Musically, it lacks the Def Leppard's usual great use of melody. For example, from that era, there's the lyrically dumb "Make Love Like a Man," which at least sounds good musically.
