I was in the mood for a low Budget b-movie. I just noticed this one could been interesting. The trailer was acceptable and Malkovich was in it.
So, consequently I downloaded for free and after 20 minutes I just noticed everything starts to make nonsense. I mean, I was not expecting an Oscar winning script, but at least a decent one. I was wrong.
The movie itself is an insult to intelligence. Really damb decisions from all the characters and really, really predictable from beginning till the end.
To add, John Malkovich is the worst acting part here. Why he is trying hard to speak so slow and have British fake accent?
So, overall a bad B-movie that could have been far better with a more risky adult oriented script.
Plot summary
It follows a Texas Ranger Jane as he is recruited by British Intelligence to track down a dangerous terrorist and stop him from attacking London.

Weak ... and paradoxical
And here is the paradox. If you are old enough to remember when Tom Jane was a hot-ticket A-lister, ditto for John Malkovich, then unfortunately you are also old enough to remember when both Dennis Weaver and Clint Eastwood did this same story (the former on TV, the latter in a feature), and did it much better. Just about every aspect of the production is weak, but most especially the writing and the editing. Director Johnson, best known for his completely forgettable "B" action flicks, does absolutely nothing to raise his reputation. In fact, ONE RANGER violates one of the "commandments" of film-making, which is to never make the villain more interesting than the hero. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
