a5c7b9f00b In a visceral modern thriller from the director of Lone Survivor, Mark Wahlberg starsJames Silva, an operative of the CIA's most highly-prized and least-understood unit. Aided by a top-secret tactical command team, Silva must retrieve and transport an asset who holds life-threatening information to Mile 22 for extraction before the enemy closes in. An elite American intelligence officer, aided by a top-secret tactical command unit, tries to smuggle a mysterious police officer with sensitive information out of the country. Now I'm not normally one for conspiracy theories, but I believe the Asian production companies had major influence on the creation on this movie which sunk it from the beginning. I would describe ita film foreigners think Americans would like but they miss on every effort except for the action/fight scenes. Oh we should have family drama, let's throw in an angry divorced mom and some random app for no reason. Americans enjoy swearing, so throw some darts at random curse words and pepper them into the dialogue even if it doesn't make sense and just sounds cringey. You guys ever see Seven? Yeah, let's throw in a plot twist at the end. We want to make our money back in the Asian territories, so let's not even say what country this is but make sure the Russians are the bad guys (or are they?). There is no way anyone can justify thisa good movie, and if they do on here I bet they were involved in creating this mess. Well written story, but for some that I have talked with the say way the storyline was developed made it confusing. One does need to pay attention to many details, this can be difficult in this fast paced film. Some of the action scenes were unrealistic(people with tactical training will understand why)such optimistic outcomes are far from reality. All in all good acting, and worth the watch. Peter Berg’s Mile 22 is an angry, hyperviolent downer of an action flick that is the August blowout-sale of its ilk: loud and desperate.
