“One Shot” (** out of four) was a muffled action thriller about an elite team of Navy Seals (Scott Adkins, Ryan Phillippe, Ashley Greene, and others) who embark on a covert mission to transport a prisoner from a C.I.A. prison but find themselves under attack when insurgents try to break in and rescue the same prisoner. Film moves fast enough and features enough intrigue and action to make it watchable but is hindered by overall routine and basic storyline and execution. One more film that pales in the shadow of the “Bourne” series. Phillippe gives his scenes a definite charge and pulse.
