Ancora una possibilità

Solid 7. Movie has very little dead spots. The action and plot move along at a steady clip.

The plot is one you have seen countless times. Terrorists with dirty bomb want revenge on USA. Reminds me of Die hard 2. Like that classic, almost the entire movie takes place in an airport. Was filmed in just 4 weeks.

Choreagraphy is spot on, the action scenes are almost always believable.

Was shot on a budget but used what they had very well. Acting was really good.

The plot gets convuluted towards the last act and the ending sets up a part 2.

Some modern day topics such as middle eastern terrorism wanting revenge on the USA is used but jsut keep watching. Do not want to spoil anything. Movie is not as simplistic as it sounds. It i s NOT racial profiling or typecasing.

Unlike a lot of old time action stars that are cranking out action movies while using a walker, Adkins can still manage to look good and be believable as a bad ass.

Not bad for an action flick. I had no idea this was a sequel. I never even heard of the 1st one. I dont think it can become a triology because everything might have been resolved. I know have to go and watch the first one so I can tie them into each other. Scott Adkins can carry an action film with his fight choreography and moves. He seems to be trained well enough when it comes to fighting and weapons handling. Michael Jai White is a good action star as well and can always add more to the picture. He has great skills as well. I appreciate a good action movie and this one gets a pass from me.

What made 2021 "One Shot" stand out was its concept. To my knowledge very few movies actually done this. Sometimes you get long amazing sequences but not a whole movie. So i think that concept kinda carried the first movie.

So obviously this movie follow the same pattern and pick up very close to where the first one ended. But altough you can clearly apreciate the effort and the filmaking behind everything just as the first, its not as new anymore.

That said once again the team behind the cameras really made it work. The cuts are well hidden. Maybe a filmaker would notice them but me, an average movie fan, watching this with a few beers, i couldn't. So on that side the movie does work great.

But behind the concept itself, you have a very average plot. Pretty much "Die Hard in ...add location" as so many movies have done before. One lone soldier picking terrorists one by one to achieve a goal. That said its perfectly servicable.

Now where i am thorn is in the concept of the movie versus the action itself. The action looks great on a point of view of thinking it was done surely with minimal takes and having to coordinate all of this. We all seen Jackie Chan bloopers and how many takes he usually needed to nail his crazy stunts. So when i compare what they done here and HOW they done it, i think its pretty good. BUT... If you compare the fight scenes to other Scott Adkins movies, its nowhere on the same level.

When it comes to gun fights, again its very decent but maybe its due to the fact most guns had silencers attached to them, the sound effects felt a bit off to me. Obviously comparing them to John Wick or Extraction would be unfair, due to the nature of the movie, but i feel some scenes worked great while others felt a bit flat.

I was pretty exited to see Michael Jai White in this movie. I had no idea who he was gonna play as i didn't watch any trailer. Sadly his screen time is VERY minimal and compare to their previous work together (Scott and Michael), its their less exiting collaboration for me when it comes to them interacting.

Now the big 2 questions. Did i had fun and do i want "Another Shot" (my homemade title for a triquel). Answer is yes and "yeah but...".

I would rather have Scott do another Accident Man or especially another Boyka way before another sequel to this franchise. And quite honestly i feel by a third movie the novelty concept will have fade off even more. Sadly its kinda the whole point of this franchise so if they don't do it the same way, then why do it at all?

Bottom line, if they make a third one, i will surely watch it, but i won't be insanely exited for it. As a Scott Adkins fan i try to watch pretty much everything he star in anyway. Im gonna give the movie a 7 out of 10 on IMDB (3.5 Stars on Letterboxd) because it did entertain me and i can surely apreciate the effort put behind it.

ONE MORE SHOT is a weaker and cheaper sequel to the first movie that never quite manages to reach the highs of its predecessor. The problem with this one is that it's obviously much cheaper and thus the action, although plentiful, is far sloppier than what we've seen in the original. Adkins still proves himself in the action stakes as you'd expect, but the bland, JOHN WICK style shoot-outs just don't have the same oomph as we saw before. The most interesting thing about this one is that it was shot entirely in and around Stansted Airport, which allows for a good use of space and setting. Michael Jai White is criminally wasted as the bad guy.

"One More Shot" is a thrilling action-adventure that takes viewers on a wild ride from start to finish. The film follows the story of a group of highly skilled mercenaries as they attempt to pull off an impossible mission, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.

Directed by James Nunn, "One More Shot" boasts an impressive cast, including Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, and Alexis Knapp. The chemistry between the actors is palpable, and their performances are nothing short of outstanding. The film's action sequences are intense, well-choreographed, and keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

The plot of "One More Shot" is engaging and fast-paced, with twists and turns that keep the audience engaged. The film's pacing is excellent, and the story isn't relevant, this is just all about guns, guns and fist fights. The characters are satisfactorily developed and the acting is just about good enough to carry the movie.

The film's visuals are good, and the action scenes are beautifully shot. The film's score, composed by Austin Wintory, is also noteworthy, as it perfectly complements the film's tone and enhances the overall viewing experience.

Despite having a low budget flix feel, "One More Shot" manages to deliver an action-packed adventure that exceeds expectations. The film's strong fight scenes make it a must-see for fans of the action-adventure genre.

In conclusion, "One More Shot" is a thrilling and engaging film that delivers really good gunfight and fight scenes. If you like action movies then give this one a go.
