Los Angeles Times

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.

Guardian

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.

Rated: 3/5

John Serba

Decider

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.

Simon Foster

Screen-Space

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

Film Ireland Magazine

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.

Karen A 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! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/15/22 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Saghar M 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. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Addisyn T definitly one of the best movies i have seen in a hot minute. i never woulda thought mgk would be such a good actor on this film its so fucking good I 10/10 recommend if you haven't watched it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Sam W 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. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Chris H Pretty good , suspense and thriller .. but I like these weird movies Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
