A gambler, fresh out of prison, and a beautiful hooker find themselves caught in an underground scheme that's spinning wildly out of control.

4/5

But what really makes One Night Only work is the chemistry between Kwok and Yang, because, despite the gangsters and guns and the prostitute-with-a-heart-of-gold cliche, it's a surprisingly effective and moving love story.

3.5/5

Though frustratingly let down, for this reviewer at least, by a bungled and melodramatic conclusion, it's a film with plenty to enjoy

[The film] hardly gives the audience a comforting closure ... but it's in the film's tragic ending that One Night Only reminds us that, in real life, couples don't always end up happily ever after.

2.5/5

One Night Only rarely bores - although it's also peppered with enough artificial plot turns and revelations to keep you from truly feeling for the protagonists.

2/5

The one-night timeframe feels contrived at times as the story has to hinge on the most idiotic of events.

2.5/5

At first recalls the work of Wong Kar-wai, only to end up more like a bad soap opera.

A bit slow paced. But at least it kept you watching to find out why.
