Netflix will release the film on May 1st, 2024.
One More Shot, often referred to as One Shot 2, is an R-rated action film directed by James Nunn and starring Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, Alexis Knapp, and Tom Berenger. It will make its streaming debut on Netflix.
The film is a follow-up to the 2021 action thriller One Shot, which is presently available for streaming in the US on Crackle and Hulu if you need a refresher. It takes place following an attack on a Polish black site. This results in the order for our hero, Navy SEAL Jake Harris, to accompany a terrorist to Washington, D.C.
Nunn, who directed the first film, is back, directing a screenplay written by Jamie Russell.
This one only has a meagre 57% on RottenTomatoes as of the time of posting because there aren’t many critic reviews available yet. “While the single-shot gimmick compromises the quality in places, it also gives the film a relentless sense of urgency,” stated Sean Chandler on his YouTube channel. This film offers a distinctive viewing experience if you’re an action buff who can overlook some shoddy acting and awkward dialogue.
However, the majority of public reviews to date have been significantly more favourable, with 71% on RottenTomatoes and 5.5 on IMDb.
Under the banner of a Sky Original production in the UK, Fox-Walden, Richmond Pictures, and Signature Films are the producers of the film. The film debuted on January 12, 2024, in the UK. A few days later, on January 16, it was available on US VOD platforms.
Why is Netflix releasing the movie? It’s available on Netflix thanks to a first-window agreement Netflix has with the US distributor, Sony Pictures. Distribution is handled by the SPE subsidiary Destination Films, whose Sniper films have recently been added to Netflix.
Thanks to this agreement, scores of films that had previously only been available in theatres or on VOD platforms have now made their premiere on Netflix.
