No wrong turn goes unpunished in this wildly entertaining action-packed thrill ride starring Colson Baker, Travis Fimmel, and Kevin Bacon. After stealing from the biggest mob boss in town, Freddy (Baker) is badly wounded and on the run with a one way ticket to salvage what is left of his crime-ridden life, for one last shot at redemption with his family.

The film is a case study in why critics say “show, don’t tell.” It’s 90 minutes of people talking about routine gangster stuff, peppered with occasional gunfire.

3/5

Baker, with his scrawny frame and ratty features, can actually act, although he’s consistently upstaged by young Reid, as the stronger performer and the one with the more interesting character story here.

Nobody will accuse One Way of being more than a genre exercise with the occasional bit of convincing acting from MGK, but when the rubber hits the road, it just doesn’t deliver the goods in a viscerally or psychologically satisfying way.

3.5/5

Steeped in the rain-soaked, neon-bathed lore of ‘70’s American crime-noir thrillers; it is not too hard to envision a version of One Way with Walter Hill calling the shots and a cast boasting the likes of Bruce Dern and Warren Oates.

This is a highly entertaining, slick piece of film-making. It's great to see Irish talent working on such a big scale with such big names. Well worth seeking out.

The acting was absolutely incredible! MGK owned his character and made him come to life on the screen. Storm Reid was phenomenal as well she portrayed Rachel in an endearing and authentic way which makes the audience fall in love with her. An absolute must see!

Honestly don't get the hate towards this movie, was neat that the main character (MGK) was basically on a bus the entire movie. Random side plots go on that confused me but I guess it was just a way to showcase he's a caretaker & missed his daughter? Movie had my attention throughout entire film & was waiting to see what would happen next.

Film was very fast paced and lots of action for the first half hour. Slows down for the next, and then sped back up for the last 30 mins. Great way to build anticipation for the end scenes. The acting was amazing, and a few plot twists in the film that I wasn't expecting. One of the best films I've seen in a while. The storyline was very intriguing and I loved it

It was a great movie and kells did a great job. It's oki if you guys hate him. Most of you don't know him and how talented he is . You just hate him bc social media tell you to hate him. If you pay enough attention, you will understand how impressive this movie is . The plot twists will blow your mind.It's better than lots movies that have high rotten tomatoes for no reason. PS: I literally watched the whole movie and I'm not fake or I didn't get paid to write this review.

A story of desperation and redemption through unconventional means. Although low key and low on action and suspense, the journey is eventful and the acting performances and hallucinatory sequences were quite good. It's not particularly memorable or realistic but it held my attention and didn't quite end as I was expecting.
