One in the Chamber is an action film with enough action to have an ok time with but nothing exciting. Cuba Gooding Jr plays the role quite well and while having a certain charm about him can also be deadly. Some well shot action scenes with him. I did like how he had a bit of a backstory to his character, but it wasn't as well though out as I had hoped. It is obvious the screenplay is the weak link in this movie, but I will let it pass since it knows it wasn't trying to be anything more than a straight to DVD B movie. Dolph brutes his way through many criminals and does so with ooze. The plot is very generic while also managing to be a tad confusing at times with who hired who and which criminal was part of which mafia family and on a whole, story was not all that intriguing. As a whole, some fun moments with people being shot, a couple of moments where Dolph just beats up on people, but not enough to warrant a second watch and is let down badly by the messy plot.

4/10
