When it first arrived in January 2024, critics didn’t seem to be any more impressed by “One More Shot” than they were with the original. “One Shot” currently holds a 59% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Guardian‘s Leslie Felperin declaring that the film’s director, James Nunn, had “crafted something as weirdly mesmeric as it is schlocky.” Unfortunately, “One More Shot” actually fared slightly worse. The film currently holds an RT score of 57%, with The Guardian‘s Cath Clarke labeling the film “violent, boring and a bit soulless. It seems, then, that the addition of Michael Jai White, Alexis Knapp, and Tom Berenger, who co-starred in the sequel, didn’t do much to elevate the franchise from its B-movie status.
None of this, however, seems to have put Netflix viewers off “One More Shot,” which hit Netflix U.S. on May 1, 2024, marking the film’s streaming debut. The sequel is currently climbing the Netflix top charts and at the time of writing sits at number four on the most-watched films chart. According to FlixPatrol, a site that tracks streaming viewership data, “One More Shot” took a while to get going after it first hit the service on May 1, landing at number eight on the charts on May 5, before shooting its way to the number four spot as of May 6. It remains there at the time of writing, and may well climb even higher before the week is out, once again proving that, just like the time notorious Michael Fassbender flop “The Snowman” topped the charts, Netflix users will watch anything.
