Scott Adkins brushes himself off for another action movie made to look like a continuous shot in this sequel, clearly inspired by Die Hard 2, but does Film Brain recommend you give it a shot?

Transcript

00:00 Scott Adkins returns for another round of real-time action,

00:03 edited to look like a continuous take, in the sequel One More Shot.

00:07 Adkins is transferring the same terrorist suspect from the first movie to Washington Baltimore

00:11 Airport so they can interrogate him and find out where he's hidden a dirty bomb.

00:15 Unfortunately, a bunch of mercenaries that buy Michael Jai White also want to find out where that bomb is.

00:21 Clearly taking its cues from Die Hard 2, London's Stansted isn't the most convincing location double for Baltimore,

00:26 but director James Nunn is obviously making the most out of a very limited budget.

00:30 There's a near-constant stream of fight scenes and set pieces,

00:32 and the continuous camera shows off Adkins to his full advantage,

00:36 and the gimmick alternates between being kind of video gamey to immersively exhilarating.

00:41 It's when the action dies down that the movie starts to falter.

00:44 The plot is very thin, and it isn't helped by the fact that some of the actors are clearly

00:48 very wobbly at having to deliver all the dialogue in long takes.

00:52 And while it's a pleasure to see Adkins and Jai White spar against each other with not an editor inside,

00:57 this movie needed way more Michael Jai White.
