With One Night Only dropping, we're deep diving into the movies that cram an entire lifetime of chaos into a single day.

We kick off with the best-friend comedy where a blown rent payment turns one ordinary morning into a full-blown citywide disaster, powered by a pop star and a comedy powerhouse who we'd genuinely follow into any bad decision.

Then there's the assassin thriller that never lets its very unlucky hero off a single moving train — a briefcase everyone wants, a body count that keeps climbing, and nowhere to run.

Plus the harmless games night that curdles into a real murder mystery before the wine's even finished, the one-day disaster we think is secretly a perfect film, and our controversial ranking of which of these we'd actually survive if we were living inside them.
