Film Review – One Way

“One Way” is being classified as a thriller, but suspense doesn’t actually arrive in the picture. It’s a small-scale endeavor, keeping up with pandemic production times by involving a small number of characters trying to make sense of their lives in limited locations, putting the weight of dramatic success on the actors, who have to come up with the feeling of entire lives while often sitting or standing in a single space. “One Way” is about a crime, but writer Ben Conway uses a dangerous situation to try and explore various personalities and relationships, only really pursuing tension with select moments of confrontation. There’s simply not enough here to carry a feature-length effort, with the material giving off heavy short story vibes, asking viewers to invest in uninteresting players involved in a dull game of trust, theft, and manipulation.
