The Rachels - 2025. Top Story - December 2025.
Much to my surprise, I have kept a list of the films I‘ve seen this year. I daresay it isn’t complete. There will be films that snuck in on a late night in front of the TV that I would’ve forgotten to note. Or others, that I went to watch at the cinema, but then had a red wine and promptly forgotten about. But it’s not a bad approximation of the films I’ve seen this year. In total, there are 53 films listed, so an average of one a week and one for good luck.

In an era where action movies often rely on rapid editing, CGI-heavy set pieces, and spectacle over substance, One More Shot arrives with a refreshing sense of discipline. Directed by James Nunn and starring Scott Adkins, the film is a direct sequel to One Shot (2021), and it doubles down on what made its predecessor stand out: a relentless real-time structure, grounded combat, and a focus on tension rather than excess.
