“Only” is a sci-fi drama, with a small cast, that is less about entertaining its audience and more about trying to use the sci-fi element for a bait and switch.

Between flinch worthy violence, Terry Crews and Ken Foree, alongside a handful of jokes, there is more good to say about “John Henry” than bad.
