A seasoned assassin plays both sides in a Russian gang war and becomes the target of an unknown enemy. In search of money and freedom from the American justice system, criminals from the United States moved to Eastern Europe, where the laws were replaced by the crime after the collapse of the Communist system. Many of them chose Prague as their hideout, where crime lords were willing to pay a suitable sum of money to assassins in order to eliminate their rivals. One such assassin, Ray Carver (<a href=">Cuba Gooding Jr.), works for two rival gangs as their main killer. When Ray attempts to murder a Chechen drug lord, he is being pursued by the mobsters. Meanwhile, Suverov mafia hires Alexey 'The Wolf' Andreev (<a href=">Dolph Lundgren), an assassin from Russia who is rumored to be not existent. This is when the real gang war starts. The action of the film is actually good and well-wrote. I have seen some of the actors in so many movies so I can say that they play pretty good. However, all the links to the place where the action takes place is said Prague, so the capital of Czech Republic. I am not agree because I recognize most of the places because there are from y country, Romania. The action starts actually in Brasov, in the middle of our country, and then, at the end, there are some views from Bucharest, the capital of Romania. The stage manager wanted some good landscapes, so he used Romania's landscapes as being in Prague? I still do not get why they did this. There are some places to promote in Czech Republic or what? Why do they tell to the viewers that the action takes place in Prague if the Atheneum is in Bucharest, the Hotel Grivita is there too and so many other places? Why do they use from time to time sequences from Prague, like the tram and the Dancing Building so they could say that all the action takes place there? Shame! A seasoned assassin plays both sides in a Russian gang war and becomes the target of an unknown enemy. Cuba Gooding Jr. and Dolph Lundgren are easily the highlight of 'One in the Chamber' and thanks to them the movie truly succeeds on giving us a solid and watchable action movie with some pretty great action sequences full of violence and just 2 really cool people as the main stars doing a very impressive job. Overall despite some storyline flaws and some acting flaws from the rest of the cast it was a pretty good film although no classic. (7/10)
