Decent stab at a B-movie
5 March 2019
Warning: Spoilers
ONE IN THE CHAMBER is a fairly decent stab at the B-movie thriller genre, featuring plenty of hard violence, tough guy behaviour and character twists for viewers. The story is about two rival assassins who end up teaming up to battle the Russian mafia. Cuba Gooding Jr. is the ostensible lead, the usual hard man with a soft heart for the ladies, but his thunder is stolen by supporting co-star Dolph Lundgren. Lundgren is fantastic here, shot in such a way in his fight scenes that makes him look the toughest he's ever been, a powerhouse performance that reminds you why he continues to be a familiar face in action cinema. Other likeable co-stars include Brit villain Billy Murray and the underrated Louis Mandylor. There's plenty of fighting, bad guys being shot and the usual tough guy behaviour, so fans should enjoy it.
