0 0

Summary The action-packed thriller One More Shot delivers intense sequences one after another, keeping viewers on edge until the credits roll.

From quiet stealth takedowns to fast-paced gunfights, Navy SEAL Jack Harris shows his skill for hand-to-hand combat in the face of danger.

Tensions rise as Harris faces off against ruthless mercenaries and a terrifying Homeland agent, leading to heart-pounding confrontations throughout the film.

One More Shot was a British thriller that was packed with intense action scenes from start to finish. A sequel to One Shot, once again, highly skilled Navy SEAL Jack Harris (Scott Adkins) faced off against hordes of mercenaries as he sought to protect a suspected terrorist from the mysterious forces who were determined to capture and interrogate him. With a powerful one-take continuous shot style, One More Shot was filmed in a way that made the action feel seamless as its intense, over-the-top sequences continued coming one after another until the credits rolled.

While some of the most intense action scenes in One More Shot were due to quiet, stealthy takedowns, others were fast-paced, rapid-fire gunfights that barely allowed viewers to catch their breath before the next action sequence. With a fast-moving narrative that sometimes felt like a video game in its intensity, Harris also showed his skill for hand-to-hand combat as he took out One More Shot characters like the mercenary Robert Jackson (Michael Jai White) and stopped at nothing to achieve justice. There were so many intense action scenes throughout One More Shot.

10 Mission At The Docks

The Opening Scene of One More Shot

The opening sequence in One More Shot sets the story in motion as, following the showdown at the black site Polish prison in One Shot, a raid on shipping containers for the terrorist bomb came up empty. This was a brief but tense introductory action scene that featured assassinations, snipers, and a first-person shooter perspective before the story shifted to the ongoing issue of Navy SEAL Jack Harris and the suspected terrorist he had in custody. While it wasn’t the kind of over-the-top action scene this series has become known for, it still played an important role in the narrative.

As Homeland Security raided the container and found no evidence of a bomb, it was clear that there was more to this story than had been previously revealed in One Shot. Homeland agent Jennifer Lomax interrogated an unsuspecting Virginia shipping yard worker, but she could not get any more information out of him. While the stakes would only grow from here as the action became more intense, this solid opening scene would become far more relevant as the twists of One More Shot started to reveal themselves.

9 Back In The Terminal

Occurs 25 minutes into One More Shot

After making it back inside the terminal after armed mercenaries attempted to hunt down the suspected terrorist Amin Mansur and his wife Niesha, Navy SEAL Jack Harris got them away from the carnage outside. After having been trapped and surrounded by exploding vehicles and increased casualties, the tension in One More Shot had already reached incredible heights. While Harris kept a cool head, the palpable fear from Amin and Niesha only made this scene more intense.

While Harris was highly skilled, his suggestion to Amin to dial 911 didn’t feel like much of a solution as the mercenaries were quickly closing in on them, and escape looked to be almost impossible. With a brooding soundtrack and a claustrophobic atmosphere, One More Shot hadn’t reached the 30-minute mark yet, and it looked like Harris had nowhere to turn. In scenes like this, the continuous-take style of One More Shot was at its most effective.

8 Cornered By Jackson’s Men

Occurs 44 minutes into One More Shot

One More Shot felt like watching a video game where all hell could break loose at a moment's notice.

The sinister nature of the rogue operative Robert Jackson’s men was on full display in the scene after Harris was cornered from all surroundings and had no choice but to start quickly tacking out men to ensure his escape. As the mercenary team held the airport COO at gunpoint and forced him to guide them through the airport, the tension was incredibly high as Harris slowly waited around the corner for his moment to strike. In scenes like this, One More Shot felt like watching a video game where all hell could break loose at a moment's notice.

Once Harris found a mercenary alone, he took him down with a knife to the throat while at the same time protecting Amin and Niesha. Despite showing no signs of resistance, the men killed the airport employee, the shock of which revealed Harris from hiding, and he had no choice but to start shooting. This highly intense shootout was compounded by Harris, Amir, and Neisha finding themselves enclosed in a narrow hallway while the gunfire continued.

7 The Terrorist Interrogation

Occurs 73 minutes into One More Shot

After it was revealed that Homeland agent Jennifer Lomax had gone rogue and worked on the mercenaries' side, she no longer kept her good-girl facade and became a disturbing villain. Lomax’s interrogation of Amin was a terrifyingly tense moment that became even more frightening as she demanded that Harris, who was disguised as one of her men, punch Amin’s pregnant wife in the stomach to get him to talk. This tension was fueled by Harris’s uncertainty about what to do next, as it was not yet the right time to reveal himself.

Luckily, Amin spoke, and Harris did not have to reveal himself immediately. Only once Lomax was out of sight did he take out the remaining mercenaries and continue his mission to eliminate the entire operation. However, Amin was shot and killed in the carnage, and Niesha was left with the body. As Harris told her, “Someone will come,” before continuing to track Jackson and Lomax, it was the most heartbreaking scenes in One More Shot.

6 The Convoy Is Under Attack

Occurs 18 minutes into One More Shot

Following the opening scene of One More Shot at the shipping yard, there were a few calm moments as Navy SEAL Jack Harris brought the suspected terrorist through the airport, where he reconnected with his wife. However, this calm was short-lived, as Harris was soon face-to-face with an airport under siege by mercenaries and forced to fight for his life and to keep the suspect safe. At a moment’s notice, the quiet airport exploded in a cacophony of gunfire, and the over-the-top action of this series was back in full force.

Without knowing how many men he had to face off against, why they were there, or how he would escape, Harris jumped headfirst into another perilous situation that would leave most men quaking in their boots. Through quiet takedowns, hand-to-hand combat, and outright long action gun fights in just a few minutes, the tone of One More Shot had changed into an intense action thriller. These high-thrill sequences would continue coming increasingly quickly until the credits had rolled.

5 Stealth Takedowns

Occurs 29 minutes into One More Shot

The action sequences in One More Shot were primarily based around over-the-top carnage, epic shoot fights, and incredible hand-to-hand combat, but there were rare occasions that Navy SEAL Jack Harris toned things back a bit. This was especially well executed after Harris returned to the airport terminal and took out some mercenaries using his stealth skills. These quiet takedowns, which occurred under the veil of darkness and shadow, were an exciting respite from the excessive spectacle of much of One More Shot.

As the armed men slowly searched to track and locate Harris, tension was high as he bided his time for the right moment to strike. When the camera switched to the armed men, viewers were surprised when Harris reappeared and quickly took some mercenaries. If Amin and Niesha had not been discovered by the men, this stealthy tactic and less bombastic attitude would have served Harris well for longer.

4 Fight With Jackson

Occurs 93 minutes into One More Shot

Rogue officer Robert Jackson (Michael Jai White) was portrayed as Navy SEAL Jack Harris’ biggest adversary throughout One More Shot. As Harris brutally made his way through the airport and slowly built toward his showdown with Jackson, the tension was continually raised for what was sure to be a face-off of epic proportions. While the final fight between Jackson and Harris didn’t quite live up to all that had come before, it was certainly an action-packed brawl.

As Harris and Jackson fought hand-to-hand on the airport runway, Scott Adkins showed off his incredible combat skills, while Michael Jai White showed off his villainous side previously seen in movies like Mortal Combat: Legacy and Universal Solider: The Return. With powerful martial arts skills, Jackson almost had the upper hand before he was taken down and chained to an airplane staircase. Although he had him at gunpoint, Harris showed mercy, which means Jackson could return in a potential third One Shot movie.

3 Lomax Shoots Marshall

Occurs 57 minutes into One More Shot

Although Homeland agent Jennifer Lomax was portrayed as an alley of Jack Harris throughout much of One More Shot, the tables soon turned when Amin recognized her voice as the one he had been in contact with. Lomax had orchestrated Amin's terrorist actions and was left dumbfounded when the bomb was not in the shipping container as planned. Once Amin confronted her, all hell broke loose, and a gunfight ensued.

The over-the-top violence of this showdown was already tense enough, but then Lomax kicked things into another gear when she shot and killed her colleague, Mike Marshall. This signaled a point of no return for Lomax as viewers realized she would stop at nothing to achieve her aims and had been in cahoots with Jackson since the very beginning. Lomax’s ruthless disregard for human life would be seen more throughout One More Shot.

2 Shuttle Train Showdown

Occurs 81 minutes into One More Shot

The most intense fight in One More Shot came, as many of the best action movie fights do, in an enclosed space, as Navy SEAL Jack Harris had no choice but to give it everything he had to survive. This was on the airport shuttle train, as a disguised Harris was quickly recognized by the mercenary Dunbar. Once unmasked, Harris promptly shot and killed all the other armed men except for Dunbar, and they engaged in a highly intense hand-to-hand fight.

This expertly tracked shot was made all the more effective by One More Shot’s continuous take style.

This expertly tracked shot was made all the more effective by One More Shot’s continuous take style as Harris struggled to avoid Dunbar’s knife attacks before finally taking him out. The moving shuttle train, the fast-paced music, and the well-choreographed combat made this an exhilarating and tension-filled sequence. Once Harris had defeated Dunbar, the action didn’t stop there, as he immediately fled to the train to face a horde of oncoming gunfire.

1 Surrounded And Trapped

Occurs 21 minutes into One More Shot

The most intense scene in One More Shot came in the first act as Harris attempted to move the suspected terrorist Amin and his wife Niesha away from the chaos of the airport but found themselves trapped and surrounded. Harris got them into a vehicle, but his plans to make it to the freeway were quickly stalled as Hooper had been shot, and they were actively being pursued. The mercenaries began to close in on them, and it looked like One More Shot could end before it had time to begin.

The tension was incredibly high as Harris found himself surrounded in every direction, and the armed men began circling the car. Amin panicked and screamed, “Do something! There’s so many of them.” As the men started to smash open the car window with a weapon, Harris was left with no option but to accept defeat until an exploding car allowed them to make their escape. Even though it occurred early in One More Shot, this was truly the most intense action scene in the entire film.
