Review
One Last Shot (2026) is the concluding chapter of the One Shot action trilogy — a raw, relentless showcase of real-time combat and nail-biting tension that lives up to the franchise’s signature “one take” aesthetic. Scott Adkins returns as Navy SEAL Jake Harris, a battle-hardened operative whose skill, stamina, and resilience have been tested across two intense films.
This final installment pushes Jake into his most personal and dangerous mission yet: stopping a team of rogue mercenaries led by a former comrade intent on sabotaging the U.S. missile defense network. The stakes are global, the pacing unyielding, and the action choreography some of the most intense in the franchise’s history.
Scott Adkins delivers exactly what fans expect — incredibly tight, brutal fight sequences where every strike matters and every setback feels kinetic. Unlike standard action movies, One Last Shot keeps the momentum kinetic: long takes, continuous motion, and a heartbeat sense that there’s no pause button in this world.
Dolph Lundgren’s inclusion adds a classic adversarial energy — a physically imposing mercenary whose presence amplifies the threat level and brings old-school brawn to the modern tactical battlefield. Scenes featuring Lundgren are less about dialogue and more about muscle, terrain advantage, and sheer willpower.
The film also showcases Kane Kosugi and Hannah Ware in key roles, contributing to high-intensity assault sequences, tactical set pieces, and close-quarters survival storytelling.
The signature “one take” filming style is a highlight — seamless transitions, continuous action, and fight choreography that feels immediate without cutting away. It’s not just a gimmick; it creates a genuine sense of real-time peril and breathless engagement from beginning to end.
