Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread

I just watched Avengement (2019). It's currently on Netflix US. I liked it. Not a whole lot of plot, but several good--and very brutal--fight scenes, so pretty much what I was looking for. I noticed that Adkins' co-star from The Debt Collector has a small part in this as a police detective.

Is that Tom Berenger? I thought he was dead.

It looks like Adkins and White filmed this movie back in January from the post I made Post #58

For a straight to video movie, I'm surprised it's being held until 2024.

In all seriousness, for some reason, I thought he died shortly after the release of Inception. I was really bummed ever since.

He still does a lot of straight to video movies like this one. He also co-starred in one of the recent Sniper sequels.

Sony just dropped the U.S. trailer. On digital January 16. Looks pretty fun.

One More Shot was pretty good. It is a direct continuation of the first.

I hope Sony releases it on Blu-ray, but considering how they have treated some other recent DTV releases, I doubt it. I'll likely have to import it (if it even gets a release at all).

It still blows my mind that a streamer hasn't signed an overall deal with Adkins to produce and star in lower-budget ($30mil or less) action movies. There is no reason the One Shot films couldn't be as popular as Extraction.

I thought it was pretty good action. Plot wasn’t great, as you say.

Re: The Scott Adkins appreciation thread

I just finished One More Shot. Pretty good, pretty good action and fight choreography for one of his DTV movies. I was a little surprised that it was a direct sequel to the first movie. It literally picks up right where the last movie left off. I guess they got a little more money and advertising than the first movie since Destination Films distributed it, who are owned by Sony.

Minor complaint. It sort of ends on a cliffhanger. It didn’t feel like the plot was resolved. I looked at Adkins upcoming projects and there is no sequel in the works yet.

Christmastime for Scott Adkins fans: One More Shot is on Netflix, and also less than five bucks in a Fanflix sale.
