One Way won’t carve a place into the crime thriller pantheon, but its most notable achievement should be setting the stage for Andrew Baird and Colson Baker’s inevitable rises in the film industry.

What are critics saying?
The Guardian by Leslie Felperin
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.
Los Angeles Times by Noel Murray
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.
Baird, and his sometimes muse Fimmel, are heading in the right direction. But this more tight if a tad tedious thriller doesn’t quite finish the trip or seal the deal.
