Still, director James Nunn\u2019s reunion with star Scott Adkins does effectively use that device to heighten im<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a>cy in an effort that may not transcend their usual B-grade, adrenaline-fueled macho fare, but does bring some welcome novelty to the genre.<\/p>\n<p>SEAL Lieutenant Jake Harris (Scott Harris) has been emergency-tasked with flying a CIA representative to an ambiguously located high-security isle whose unwilling guests represent a \u201cUnited Nations of terror,\u201d as ground staffer Shields (Terence Maynard) informs. With her superior temporarily stranded somewhere overseas, the default CIA rep is junior analyst Zoe Anderson (Ashley Greene Khoury), who\u2019s green enough never to have ridden in a helicopter before. Nevertheless, she has her mission: to retrieve a prisoner here, one Amin Mansur (Waleed Elgadi). The reason for that isn\u2019t something she\u2019s at liberty to share immediately with the facility\u2019s displeased chief officer Yorke (Ryan Phillippe), let alone with Jake, or the men in his squad: Whit (Emmanuel Imani), Danny (Dino Kelly) and Ash (Jack Parr).<\/p>\n<p>It soon emerges, however, that while he protests his innocence, Mansur \u2014 first met in a state of brutalized interrogative distress \u2014 is suspected of knowing details about a planned dirty-bomb attack that could take out all three branches of U.S. government. To prevent \u201canother 9\/11,\u201d he needs to be airlifted out immediately. But before that can happen, the well-guarded base is completely overrun by armed insurgents under the command of ruthless Charef (Jess Liaudin). Freeing the other detainees here in order to increase his forces, that notorious mercenary\u2019s own mission is simply to kill Mansur before the intel he presumably holds can be used to stop the D.C. attack.<\/p>\n<p>Hectic from the get-go, \u201cOne Shot\u201d kicks into full-on crisis mode at the 20-minute mark, never letting up until closing credits arrive. Those 70 solid minutes of siege may not have much in the way of character depth, plot ingenuity or higher meaning; nor do they reach the top rank of visceral combat depiction most recently achieved by last year\u2019s streaming sleeper \u201cThe Outpost.\u201d But within the movie\u2019s tight conceptual bounds, they are energetic, reasonably tense and fairly credible, allowing for the suspension of disbelief such <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> require for their near-superhuman protagonists.<\/p>\n<p>If the seemingly never-ending pileup of dead extras sometimes makes this feel like a first-person-shooter video<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> (the filmmakers admit their influence), we nonetheless get strong-enough central figures to identify with. And the action is at its best when Adkins is being an army of one, whether in a long midsection set-piece quietly dispatching many perps via knife, or in several late mano-a-mano fights that finally tap some of the star\u2019s martial arts skills.<\/p>\n<p>A self-proclaimed \u201cking of the low-budget sequel\u201d\u00a0who\u2019s played support roles in big movies while headlining a lot of smaller ones with titles like \u201cJarhead 3,\u201d Adkins is well-served in those sequences by his frequent fight choreographer Tim Man, as well as stunt coordinator Dan Styles. DP Jonathan Iles\u2019 handheld camera is a floating free agent, weaving in and out of skirmishes, representing the perspective of one side, then switching to the other. While obviously much planning and rehearsal went into his never-still images, \u201cOne Shot\u201d manages to avoid seeming an overly schematic technical stunt. The mayhem depicted isn\u2019t always fully convincing, but it does have a certain live-wire edge.<\/p>\n<p>There is not a great deal to say about the performances, given that only Elgadi is asked to convey any complexity, in ways that hit some of newbie screenwriter Jamie Russell\u2019s more pedestrian notes. Still, all acquit themselves capably, with minor caveats for Khoury and Phillippe, who seem a bit mismatched to this type of material. Shot on a military base in Suffolk, \u201cOne Shot\u201d is a British production about American military might vs. foreign hostiles that does its best to sidestep politics and rhetoric, focusing solely on ducking shrapnel in the moment. Austin Wintory\u2019s original score is effective, but takes care not to intrude overmuch on the conceit of in-ya-face realism.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
