One More Shot

James Nunn and Scott Adkins return in the sequel to the tactical shooter, and by B-movie standards, it's a successful action ride. The film picks up right after the second part, where Adkins is tasked with escorting a suspected terrorist to Washington, but an organized attack occurs at the airport. Once it starts, it has a very tense and intense atmosphere, with a plethora of enemies and the entire assault being portrayed aggressively and uncompromisingly. The single-shot camera works well (clearly, a higher-budget would have benefitted the film, but not every filmmaker gets the money for such films, so let's be grateful for this). It's more about shooting, there aren't many fights, and when there are, Adkins isn't a martial arts master, he gets his ass kicked nicely, and it seemed to me that he only used his skills halfway, but at least it feels authentic, having just an agent and not a martial arts star. Michael Jai White shows up only at the very end, which is a bit of a shame, but the duel was likable. There was even one surprising twist, and the story itself, by B-movie standards, is quite interesting, so I had a decent time once again. It reminded me of my favorite PS1 game, “Syphon Filter 2”. 7/10. (13/01/2024)
