Then this action packed movie is quite watchable; at least I didn't give up in the middle of it and cursed loudly as I used to do when watched a lousy B-movie soiled my day. This movie is actually quite good, the only thing that's not right is the numbers of the terrorists who appeared in a mid-sized truck, and how they got on the island in the middle of nowhere without transportation. The Seal team and the CIA lady needed chopper to get to the island, how these terrorists got on the island without even alerted the terrorist detainees black site? If you could put your logic, IQ and, well, the basic elementary math aside, then it's a quite exciting combat movie. Scott Adkins did a great job as usual, and I like him a lot, his acting has become better and better.

I had no expectations to this 2021 action thriller from writer Jamie Russell and director James Nunn. I hadn't even heard about the movie prior to watching it. However, I saw that the movie had Scott Adkins in the lead role, and with it being a movie I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to sit down and watch "One Shot".

And while the storyline and plot in "One Shot" was essentially very simple and didn't have all that much going on in it, then "One Shot" was actually still a rather enjoyable movie. Why? Well, the sheer amount of action in the movie, and the way that the action scenes were filmed. It totally worked in favor of the movie, and made me feel like I was right there in the action.

"One Shot" had two actors that I was familiar with, and that was Scott Adkins and Ryan Philippe. But I will say that they had gotten together a good cast ensemble for the movie, and the actors and actresses were putting on good performances to bring the movie to life on the screen.

"One Shot" certainly was entertaining and enjoyable, I will say that. However, this is hardly a movie that warrants more than a single viewing, as there simply isn't enough material and contents to the storyline to support multiple viewings.

My rating of "One Shot" lands on a six out of ten stars.

6.5/10; About this film, Scott Adkins shines as usual. This man is a legit on screen action presence and acts well. He sells the character of the Navy SEAL team leader. And the fights are amazing too, starting with extended shootouts to close quarter pistol fights and hand to hand fights. The action is directed well. It is really tense and well choreographed.

The supporting cast is ok. Ashley Greene is good. Ryan Phillip looked bored. Others were just fine. The story is your generic good guys rescuing prisoner from bad guys. And the script is mediocre. Many scenes in the film would have made an impact had the characters been fleshed out and the script a better one. The one take becomes a bit strenuous at times too.

Overall it's a fine movie. Without Adkins and the cool fights, it would have been a boring mess. Do give it a watch.

Scott Adkins is the reliable, taciturn star of low-budget action flicks that Steven Seagal still thinks he is. The man is a legit martial artist. He looks tough, yet smart enough to be the hero of any sort of action flick he's offered, whether grounded in kick-boxing, organized crime or, as here, soldiering. Adkins leads a S. E. A. L. team deployed to a black-site island prison to transport a suspected terrorist to Washington ASAP. He supposedly knows what's needed to prevent an imminent nuclear attack in a major American city. His crew brings a civilian agent (Ashley Greene) to try to coax the intel from the detainee, since a period of "extreme interrogation" failed. The guy running the place (Ryan Phillipe) resents the hell out of this insulting intrusion on his domain and resists the extraction order, despite the claimed urgency and scale of the threat.

Horrible timing. Before they can leave, a horde of heavily-armed, disciplined terrorists crashes the party (literally and figuratively), killing the guards, destroying the means of exit, and cutting off communications before reinforcements could be summoned. They want the same inmate for whatever their end-game may be, regardless of the body count on either side.

What follows is a long, large-scale shootout between a horde of bad guys, amplified by the other prisoners they set free, and a greatly outnumbered and outgunned cluster of Adkins-led defenders. The clash plays out somewhat like a video game through the large, maze-like complex, both indoors and out, racking up a massive body count of anonymous characters, plus casualties among those we know by name and care about.

Adkins does what Adkins does as convincingly as ever. I started this review by calling him reliable for a reason. His brand of predictable is a significant asset, not a critique. The dude delivers exactly what his fans expect of him, which is largely a high score on the adrenaline scale that minimizes cerebral exertion. Here's a satisfying example for your guilty-pleasure enjoyment.

For the B movie - this is the good one. Nice realistic gun and fist fights, amazing cameraman and choreography work, good CGI. No wokism or PC BS. Predictable and enjoyable action. Minus for 200 people in one truck and some cheese. Rare find in modern agendas-ruled cinema.

"One Shot" is an intense action film. It does appear to be shot in one continuous shot, which makes it unusual for a film of this genre. The constant shots and frequent explosions will provide a lot of adrenaline.

Just because a movie is shot in 1 take definitely doesn't make it special anymore and this isn't special. With 15 minutes to go in the movie I really was rooting for everyone to get at least one bullet. A rating of 7.5 at the time of viewing I thought I'd give it a go and now wish I hadn't.

Well armed soldiers piled out of a TARDIS like truck for what seemed like 20 minutes, like scarfs up a clowns sleeve they just kept coming out.

Gun magazines with seemingly endless bullets to impregnable buildings with fire escapes dragged this sea-sickness giving camera work on for far too long.

There seems a lot of love for the main actor but there wasn't much acting for him to do in this film. I'll try another movie of his but won't be revisiting this tripe during my lifetime.

Here you have it, your "One Shot". You will enjoy non-stop action for 1,5 hours. The fighting scenes, hand-to-hand combat and the explosions are very well executed. Everybody will say off course that the plot and screenplay was a bit simple. But who cares? This movie is fast paced and will never get bored. Regarding the acting, Ashley Greene stands out as the tough and steady Zoey, the mysterious CIA analyst. And Scott Adkins as Jake, leader of the SEAL time, also delivers an outstanding performance. The scenes inside the building to the chasing from block to block, against the raining of gunshots and the transition from one set-up to another is done in one flow. Astonishing. If you have seen "Unbreakable", you know the storyline. The execution however is totally different. Conclusion: if you like action movies, this is a must.

. . . action; too many corpses: too many fights! All this being said, the bottom line is that the film is quite watchable and entertaining. Believable characters are both the good guys and the bad ones too.

It's called One Shot because they only have one shot to stop a terrorist plot, but also, because the entire movie was filmed in one take! That takes a lot of work and skill to create and I'm sure is exhausting, yet this is novice filmmaker James Nunn's first writing credit, and his 5th full length feature film directorial credit. And he did not disappoint.

At first it will feel like you're behind a player in Call of Duty, and then it's like you're right there, behind the action, turning your head to whoever is talking or shooting. It's kinda epic and magical when you really think about it. It's non stop energy, excitement and suspense. Obviously the pacing is fast, so the 96 min runtime flies by quickly.

Then add the excellent tactical action choreography, cinematography and special effects, plus the outstanding, convincing and commanding performances ny all - especially Scott Adkins, and you'll be on the edge of your seat the entire time. I'm pretty sure I forgot to breath a bunch of times.

My only complaint was that I wanted more story and not as much shooting, which seemed to be the majority of the film. But nevertheless, if you're into this genre, you will not be disappointed. Hats off to Nunn for giving us this amazing action film. It's a well deserved 8/10 from me.

Very original execution of a modern western type story. Scott Adkins leads a mission to a Guantanamo type military prison to transfer a prisoner to Washington DC to stop an imminent terrorist attack. The transfer is disrupted by a gang of terrorists invade the island to capture the prisoner. Ryan Phillipe is adequate. Adkins is very good. Ashley Greene is also uncharacteristically good as the agent sent to retrieve the prisoner. The film is shot in one continuous shot from start to finish. This could have been a disaster if not executed well; however this one is very well done. It is fast paced and gripping throughout. The visuals are unsettling at points but they fit the film. It may be lower budget but it doesn't feel like it, nor does it look like it. It is very watchable.

Once I saw Rayan Philipe is with the cast in film could One Shot that's reminded me in TV show Shooter, I really imagined something worth watching but that is very boring and nonrealistic film or story and also directing I believe they did not give this film any attention 👎🏾

An adrenaline-fuelled & macho-flavoured B-movie action fare that delivers exactly what the package advertised, One Shot is a competently crafted genre romp that packs a simple plot and executes it with skill & flair. And despite the gung-ho attitude & 'Murica crap, it manages to be a tense & thrilling affair, thanks to its no-nonsense action & fluid camerawork.

Directed by James Nunn, the story unfolds in real time with the camera capturing the events and following our characters around in a way that gives it the appearance of being shot in a single unbroken take. It sure is a gimmick but it does add to the immediacy of the chaos and keeps us invested in the proceedings while also heightening the tension & suspense at times.

The camera manoeuvres through the spaces in slick & smooth fashion and the neat editing deftly masks the various scene breaks. The drama & performances are serviceable at best but Scott Adkins plays his part with conviction. However, the film loses momentum and begins to go downhill after that big explosion, not to mention that the ending feels a tad drawn out as well.

Overall, One Shot does what it set out to do and does it in style. It is a surprisingly well made example of its genre that's quite aware of its strengths & limitations, and gets ample mileage out of its straightforward premise. Scoring high on action, violence & body counts, this is one solid actioner that plays out like a video game and offers an entertainment that's at least satisfying if not wholly rewarding.

This is a wonderful showcase in how action should be done, this a smoking gun proof that you don't need a hundred of millions Hollywood budget to make great action movie.

Don't wait to be taken by a great story or characters or even great acting, this just pure action movie with the one and only Scott Adkins, he and the editor who seamlessly gave us the impression that the movie was shot in one take. Great job James Nunn, you and the crew gave the movie lovers a wonderful action movie.

The film is just one long action sequence shot entirely at the former RAF Bentwaters. Usually I like action films but not this one as there is no real plot.

The movie is a part of Hardcore Henry (more serious though, more realistic ) style. If we can speak about the "role" here Scott Adkins is great as in "Boyka" thus with a top level performance.

This is this type of movies that either makes you nervous because of the continuous action, or keeps you "in game" the whole time.

Really, the movie is similar to what would be if you combine - for example Half Life action along with the cutscenes.

High rate from me for "this type" of movies.

Decent plot line, dreadful acting Box ticking exercise with the terrorist detention camp, guns that don't run out of bullets and actors with unexpected bills to pay, surprised Bruce Willis doesn't make an appearance.

Just a really exciting action film that's markedly better than average, and significantly superior than its Metacritic rating might suggest. You can pick holes in the plot, dialogue and some of the acting but it really doesn't matter because this is a visceral and genuinely thrilling action film. It also manages to use the one-take technique to enhance the immediacy of the action rather than being a pointless bit of showy direction that ends up being distracting and annoying, as it was in 1917. James Nunn deserves a lot of credit for pulling this off in such an understated way, and for investing you in characters that have almost zero backstory of depth, but who you genuinely don't know will make it.

This movie was some craptacular bs. It just lacked altogether. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't identify w/ ANY of the characters. Most of the actors couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. Felt like they just did the movie to earn a paycheck, b/ really didn't care one way or the other for their actual performances. The fight scenes were meh at best. Camera work was amateurish, directing subpar & storyline flat. I tried to give it 2 stars... b/ found myself not even able to justify giving it even 2 stars, even though I'm a Scott Adkins fan. The quality of his movies just seem to be getting crappier & crappier, which is extremely disappointing.

ONE SHOT is another B-movie from modern action star Scott Adkins, but unlike many of his recent movies it's one of his very best. That's thanks to the novel premise of having the whole thing take place in one seemingly continuous take, which puts the viewer right into the heart of the action and leaves them gasping for breath. It takes twenty minutes to set the story and then never lets up from that point onward, with constant well-directed shoot-outs, explosions and hand-to-hand combat. Adkins shines and the whole film is pacy and exciting. Great job!

Didn't know what to expect but I was very impressed with what seemed to be a "One Shot" continuous take.

Action was great, dialog good, story was good, actors good. Not Oscar worty as most action movies are not but under the hoorific time of battle there were no one liners that most american movies put in for comedic effect.

Not a whole lot of cgi or fx, mainly focus on the characters. No romantic interest or Nudity.

Overall I give this a 7. Kudos to Scott Adkins and Waleed Elgadi. I can't explain this movie in less than 600 words that IMDB wants without giving up spoilers.

Camera work was solid, Stunts were great, it almost felt like you were in part of the action.

I turned it off after 23 minutes. It's essentially trying to piggy back on the 'one shot' success of 1917... but without the same calibre of actors, the dialogue, the execution of the lines, the tension, the story, the set scenes or the financial backing. The sort of film you'd find in a battered old VHS case in the bottom of the bargain bin in Blockbusters.
