James Nunn's One More Shot offers a cinematic action movie experience rather than adhering to a traditional plot structure and conventional character arcs. Following the events of the first film, One Shot, Scott Adkins reprises his role as Navy Seal Jake Harris. This time, he embarks on a mission to escort a terrorist suspect from a black site in Poland to Washington D.C. for interrogation. 

I have always believed that Scott Adkins is an action-star who doesn't get the recognition he deserves. This film is yet another proof of his talent, as his dedication to the stunt work perfectly complements the movie. Nunn's direction, combined with Adkins' physicality, makes One More Shot a strong contender for the best action movie of the year in terms of technicality.

One More Shot bursts onto the scene with non-stop gunfights, intense hand-to-hand combat, thrilling chase scenes, and you are right in the thick of it all alongside Adkins. This is where the movie truly shines, much like Chris Hemsworth in his Extraction films on Netflix. The choreography is elegant and skillfully captured through Nunn's expert direction, delivering an adrenaline-pumping experience as Adkins' Harris faces a relentless onslaught of attackers with a frenzied intensity. However, the film does stumble into the common pitfalls of relying too heavily on a single aspect of filmmaking. The story progression, overall plot, and characters outside of Harris lack intrigue.

The story is forced to stay superficial due to the continuous stream of action, leaving little room for the characters to engage in anything other than attempting to eliminate each other. This is where the duration of the film becomes significant, running for approximately 15-20 minutes.

One More Shot offers undeniably impressive action, although it can become a bit tiring after a while, coming close to overstaying its welcome. Shortening the length could have improved the pacing by tightening up certain story-points that hinder the overall compelling story layering. Nevertheless, with Adkins leading the way and the remarkable display of action stunts and choreography, One More Shot is definitely a must-watch for action fans.
