One More Shot

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.

Adkins deserves some credit for relentlessly trying to keep his career afloat, against all odds, in the grand tradition of Van Damme and Seagel and Lundgren. Also nice to see Berenger and Jai White back in the saddle. However, that said, there are signs of desperation here. This is sort of a sequel to ONE SHOT, in a quantum universe where time is relative and nothing much happens between installments. Film students will especially appreciate the way every possible trick and hack is used to make a small budget seem bigger than it is. The small cast and static locale -- both telltales of B-moviemaking, are made to seem larger and more important than they actually are. Think Hamburger Helper, only for directors. However, at the end of the day, and in real time, it becomes obvious that world has moved on (in 2024, the Enemy really is inside the gates) and these guys have not. Rule of Thumb, any film where Adkins is not playing the most "perfect" Russian cage fighter on the planet is going to be forgettable. Ditto for any film where Jai White is playing the bad guy. (Blood & Bone still highly recommended for newbies.) ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."

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.

First off, I liked this sequel more than One Shot. I liked the setting in an American airport more than a military base in Poland. I liked that he fought the same (really good) opponent three times and his fight against Michael Jai White wasn't as good as Undisputed 2 or Accident Man, but was one of the best parts of the movies. Just like the first movie, takes that long have to be impressive even if you don't like it. The movie may not have ended on a cliffhanger, but it left room to imagine that there is the potential for another sequel. Overall, this isn't one of Scott Adkins better movies but it was more entertaining than some of his worst.
