In many ways, “One Way” is a modern-day reimagining of the masterful Carol Reed thriller “Odd Man Out” (1947) with James Mason as a wounded Belfast gunman on the run from the police and increasingly cornered. Both films have a powerful nightmarish element.
Gripping and clever, although not entirely, “One Way” tells the story of a fugitive on the run, or I should say, on a bus, trying to get away from a gang from which he has stolen cash and cocaine.
Also on the bus is the no-nonsense driver ; an underage girl named Rachel texting with a man she’s supposed to meet named Smokie; a pregnant woman on her own; and a social worker named Will . Also in the mix are Freddy’s estranged, criminal father Fred Sr. , Freddy’s estranged ex-wife Christine , who is a nurse, and Freddy and Christine’s daughter Lily .
Directed by Irishman and Roger Corman school of filmmaking graduate Andrew Baird and written by Irishman Ben Conway, both making their feature film debuts , “One Way” is steeped in morbid nihilism. Freddy cannot stop the bleeding. But that doesn’t stop him from getting to know Rachel after she asks to borrow one of his phones. She notices that he has two and assumes he is a gang banger. Will suspiciously intervenes to make sure Freddy isn’t trying to take advantage of the girl.
