One More Shot (2024)
7/10
A good sequel

More of the same. That is, Scott Adkins' US Navy Lieutenant Jake Harris escorting a terrorist (Amin Mansur) to safety.

'One More Shot' picks up hours after 'One Shot', with Harris and his high-value cargo arriving at Baltimore Wilmington Airport on the night of the President's State of the Union address.

It's a bad few days to be Lieutenant Harris, because bad guys ambush him and his cargo once again. This time, they are American mercs working for a shady company of some sort. They are in the airport looking for a dirty bomb that Harris' terrorist cargo as sent ahead. And it seems like they have someone on the inside...

Nothing new and even the alleged one-shot concept - who knows if it really was filmed in one shot, but it really doesn't matter - but nonetheless it is a great B-grade action movie. Lots of blood and guts, kicking, shooting and stabbing, and cliched villains at twenty paces. Some very tense moments. The empty airport provides all sorts of locations for creative action sequences.

Adkins doesn't really say much and his facial expressions are generally the same, but he plays a cool hero nonetheless. Is he the Steven Seagal of his generation? Gotta be close.

I didn't mind the ambiguous ending to the film if it means there's a sequel in the offing.
