Leslie Felperin Guardian Nunn has crafted something as weirdly mesmeric as it is schlocky. Rated: 2/5 Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Mark Peikert indieWire Lacking the polish of other entries such as Birdman and 1917, One Shot feels like a first-person shooter video game with the camera reversed for once. Rated: C Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Dennis Harvey Variety Director James Nunn's reunion with star Scott Adkins... may not transcend their usual B-grade, adrenaline-fueled macho fare, but does bring some welcome novelty to the genre. Nov 5, 2021 Full Review Victoria Luxford City AM The One Take camera technique is new enough in mainstream cinema to make One Shot interesting to action fanatics, but only those who want a relentless shower of violence will be entertained by the onslaught. Rated: 2/5 Mar 3, 2022 Full Review Carey-Ann Pawsey Orca Sound If straight to video still existed then James Nunns One Shot would certainly be one. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 8, 2022 Full Review Chris Knight National Post Unfortunately, the story is a little thin, consisting for large stretches of little more than a shooting gallery of bad guys, and the one-take technique, while mostly well executed, doesn't do enough to elevate the story. Rated: 2/5 Jan 28, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael H Good action scenes but abit silly, I mean how are you going to fit all those men in one truck lol. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Walt S If you lack non stop violence and chaos along with a bit hard to follow, then you will love this mess. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Jeff R What a rush and action from start to finish. All shot with one shot, it’s as if you are there, right next to the action and danger. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Steffy Y HORRIBLE ACTING...camera work and ridiculous scenes in first 15 minutes. Truck at the gate not complying with orders and they just kept yelling get out of the truck and they drive through a very frail gate holding terrorists prisoners then a gazillion of shooters come out of the back of the truck... So stupidly predictable....turned it off. Don't waste your time! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Gusenichka didnt have a cat in a hat, disappointing. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review David S Didn't realize you could fit 500 terrorists in a single truck Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
