Summary

• One More Shot features a strong ensemble cast of familiar faces from the action genre.
• The main cast of the movie includes action icons Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, and Tom Berenger.
• The supporting cast of the movie features a returning star and former stunt performer alongside quite a few newcomers.

The One More Shot cast contains a robust roster of fresh and familiar faces. The new movie, which premiered in theaters and via VOD in early 2024 before a streaming release on Netflix in May, is a sequel to the 2021 British action-thriller outing One Shot. Both movies were directed by James Nunn (Shark Bait, Tower Block, The Marine 5: Battleground, The Marine 6: Close Quarters) from a screenplay by Jamie Russell (Lock In, Bricks), though Nunn also has story credit on the pair. Other returning behind-the-scenes figures include producer Ben Jacques, composer Austin Wintory, and editor Liviu Jipescu.

The 2024 action movie is presented as a single, continuous take just like the previous installment in the franchise, though this high-concept presentation is achieved using digital manipulation and editing rather than actually filming the entire movie at once. This is the same technique that was used to bring other one-shot movies to life including 1917 and Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance). In spite of being presented more or less in real time, the movie features quite a few different characters played by both returning stars and newcomers alike, including several stalwarts of the action genre.
