“One Shot” is a full-blown thrill that explores real militarized application without leaving much to the imagination. Able to set the movie in an island prison that is owned by the CIA as a black site, the film preaches of a squad of Navy SEALs on a perilous mission of transferring a notorious detainee. Their task soon turns into utter anarchy when the enemy comes quickly and their hope is to free the very prisoner the SEALs are delivering.
Right from the beginning of the movie, the mood is set to immediate and active and directly engages the viewer into the war zone. Its magnificent filming is built on genuine and strenuous scenes of action involving the SEALs made in one long shot, which doubles the risks our heroes have to endure. The characters are well played and charisma and spirit of the military personnel on a fire line are brilliantly shown though in many instances the dialogues are trite and stereotype military.
Though the movie offers parse speed and strategic approach with the events, and the portrayal of them at times is imperfectly realistic, it appears to be poor on the essentials of exploring character backgrounds. Nevertheless, it is quite possible to mention the piece known as “One Shot” because of comprising rather tense staking scene and containing a great deal of meticulous references. The film is an inspirational reminder of the efforts of military operatives; however, the playing sequence makes audience members catch their breath waiting for the SEALs’ arduous experience.
