One More Shot
One More Shot
In the same style of its upheld predecessor One load, One More Shot claims to have boundaries of a single take event. Scantily standing almost fully at a Washington D.C. airport , bear in mind that this is devoid of any human being due to a fake gas leak incident that has occurred, this could be called Try Hard 2: Try Harder where the title speaks for itself.
Yet again, Scott Adkins just like all Killers VOD action fans doesn’t disappoint as he displays his usual remarkable speed and rage somewhat muted under James Nunn’s second attempt at direction — surely not more original today than in 2021 with none of the character building subtleties that were present in last year’s Extraction 2 out of a long shot and a good deal less spectacularly executed here than that of its relatively weak predecessor. Even granting some allowance for dumbed down action leather in ch…
Tim Man, who is credited as a fight choreographer in the movie, has common sense and avoids using the original film’s complicated action choreography to kill the actor or injure someone on set. The only tare thing t hat simply works is bringing in another B Action icon: Michael Jai White who does not surprise us. He and Adkins are rather interestingly engaged too. Unfortunately, they do not utilize it until a few minutes before the massively unsatisfying conclusion.
You are as competent in doubting the finish of the first film knowing you will forget it in a couple of years and furthermore, making the filmmakers seem fully confident in your memory. Turning the clock just a number of hours later, One More Shot centers on Lt. Jake Harris (Adkins) a navy seal who is the lone survivor of a black site prison shelling and Monsieur Amin Mansur (Waleed Elgadi) who was a prisoner who was brought back for questioning over dirty bomb plotting at the State of the Union address.
CIA chief Marshall, who has the physical appearance of a bloated Joe Biden, than any other person supplemented by Tom Berenger. Sullivan is there for the handoff of Mansur along with hot Agent Lomax (Alexis Knapp) and Mansur’s wife Niesha (Meena Rayann) who is pregnant to add more drama. Harris was on his way to a debrief outside the base when he encountered a squad of fully kitted commandos.
Do you really think this is a race? Will anything this slow be a race? Ah well, it’s off to the races once more as Harris attempts to shield Mansur and his wife and the bits of information mansur has from a professional thug squad before the State of the Union gets underway.
In hindsight, it seems that Harris’s dispatch SEAL trained approaches looked pondersome if at all. They have nothing on the convenient ways he leaves fighters first in the second suppression — one face is pummeled to a bloody pulp with suppressed-bullet punctuation on the individual, while the other is just a bloodlessly stunned fellow who will pop up some moments later.
Nunn and harrowing Jamie Russell make use of the twisted airport structures quite well — starting from inside the baggage claim, out to the people-mover escalators and trams — but, the same is not the case for Harris’s movements; all those have healthy alternatives books. After the epic indefinite forced hibernation, he simply comes back after a shorter passage of time and has not changed even a tiny bit like in the last scene, a visible lump around his eye.
As was the case with Stranger Than Fiction, only a few controlled where the destination was going to be. So then, here’s the question of who’s turning on whom, and is One More Shot supposed to be answering that throws the wood in the gear.
This is further compounded by the fact that this sequel looks deeper but nasty ‘spoke’ fantasies cults where political warriors are no more since owning thuggish muscle demand is a different matter all together.
The actor that has been given the job of expressing these opinions finds it very difficult to convey the emotion such that a listener even remotely considers it serious more so given the up-tempo background music that seems to force its seriousness on the audience.
Take note: A person who looks quite serious while saying that this is some form of progress in comparison to Die Hard 2: Die Harder is purely a person with online aspirations at best or at worst is displaying utter ignorance of a certain genre That being the case action film All in one exercise is obviously only biding time until One More Shot in 2026 which I wholeheartedly expect will make out quite nicely.
