Film Review – One More Shot (2024)

There are a lot of action titles produced for the VOD/streaming market, and most are not quality work. They’re cheap to make and crudely written, requiring some level of violence and the services of a paycheck-cashing star to help these offerings reach the masses. One of the more engaging releases in recent years is 2021’s “One Shot,” which retained the gimmick of “one take” filmmaking to bring some electricity to the usual business of bad guys coming after good guys. Director James Nunn didn’t nail all aspects of the production, but he crafted a compelling, nicely paced thriller that made proper use of its star, Scott Adkins, who committed himself fully to all the rough business. Apparently, the feature did well, because now there’s a sequel, with “One More Shot” picking up right where the last movie ended, with Nunn restarting the single take machine for another wave of attack and survive, looking to sustain the brutality and panic found the last time around.
