Where to Watch One Shot
- Patrick WaiApril 30, 2026Watching these in reverse actually helped this one, because it makes clear why One Shot works better: the director understands that Scott Adkins can absolutely carry the physical side of a movie and enough of the acting to get by, but only if the story keeps moving and the other characters are allowed to do some lifting too. Thankfully, that is exactly what happens here. The one-take gimmick is still impressive and creates some genuinely amazing shots, even if using it for so much of the movie starts to feel a little like a flex in search of a breather. Still, the coordination alone must have been a nightmare, and when it clicks, it really clicks. More than just a martial-arts showcase, this is a fun, tense action adventure that wisely builds momentum instead of turning Adkins into a one-dimensional punching machine. Not perfect, but easily one of his better vehicles, and for me, definitely top five.
