The short running length is a benefit because it means that Mile 22 doesn’t stick around long enough to wear out its welcome – a too-often evident problem in films of this sort. Read full review

The result is at times quite thrilling, and clocking in at 90 minutes, refreshingly concise. Read full review

Berg, when he wants to be, is a surgical craftsman of chaos. Yet Mile 22 has little weight or resonance. Read full review

In almost all respects, but especially structurally, Mile 22 is a mess. Read full review

The fights and shootouts are too choppy to be clear and too bloody to be fun. It’s basically an over-caffeinated lecture about geopolitics with frequent cutaways to grisly murders. It didn’t necessarily need a page one rewrite, but a better and less hectic edit could have done wonders. Read full review

When Mark Wahlberg's Silva isn't wielding run-on sentences as military-grade weapons, he barks out derivative commands and asinine statements that make him sound like a 13-year-old playing Call of Duty. Read full review

This isn’t a movie, it is anti-cinema; an endurance test to discover how malleable a human’s brain is. Read full review

I just saw this movie which I can’t remember the name but it has Agent Marky Mark in it and a girl who looks hot but she’s dangerous and can’t wear makeup but if she was in a makeup role she probably could maybe be as hot as the Black Widow girl. Also that girl wrestler who’s trying to actI just saw this movie which I can’t remember the name but it has Agent Marky Mark in it and a girl who looks hot but she’s dangerous and can’t wear makeup but if she was in a makeup role she probably could maybe be as hot as the Black Widow girl. Also that girl wrestler who’s trying to act now who should just keep wrestling.

They work for a secret organization that’s more secret than the CIA that’s called the ADHD.

The story is there’s hardly any killing for the first two minutes and then lots when they go out and get in cars and trucks and fight guys on motorcycles. The hot girl has phone calls with a mean husband and wants to talk to the daughter but he won’t let her but that part goes away. The big boss is cool because he’s called Mother (the guys are called chess pieces and then children) and he has all these cameras that say their heartbeats and stuff and he’s super cool because he has bobble-heads that go into a special case and he wears old-fashioned sneakers.

The style is sometimes Mother says philosophy and I think Marky Mark does too but he talks really fast and lots so I couldn’t tell. And Marky Mark always snaps a rubber band and the bad guy is always touching his fingers to his thumbs and that was the only dumb part of the movie that I wish they didn’t have because I wanted it to stop all the time.

No scene lasts for more than five seconds so the movie goes by really fast and I won’t give away the ending but I will say what a surprise.

The only thing I couldn’t figure out was why there were no policemen or ambulance men or firemen. And I don’t think there were any people on the street. But to sum up WOW GREAT MOVIE TEN STARS UP.… Expand

Mark Walhberg is extremely annoying and misogynistic in this movie, like he's trying to take Mel Gibson's place as biggest A-hole in Hollywood.

12 years ago when Mark Whalberg got an Oscar nomination things seemed to look good for him but apparently his plans were different and he only got mediocre films after that, until 2010 when he made The Fighter. He got Golden Globe nomination and good reviews for his work. Once again12 years ago when Mark Whalberg got an Oscar nomination things seemed to look good for him but apparently his plans were different and he only got mediocre films after that, until 2010 when he made The Fighter. He got Golden Globe nomination and good reviews for his work. Once again everything seemed fine but he did not learn and since then his career has come to less in films that haven't done anything for his career except to swell his wallet.

Now he delivers Mile 22, his fourth consecutive collaboration with director Peter Berg, ironically the quality of his collaborations has been decreasing and definitely Mile 22 is the worst of all, especially for the way he takes its style and narrative rhythm of the book by Paul Greengrass and his Jason Bourne trilogy.

It's clear that Mile 22 has a very different approach to the other collaborations of Wahlberg and Berg, especially taking into account that the other three are based on real events, but undoubtedly Mile 22 points to a very basic entertainment and therefore more simplistic.
It's a thriller of far-fetched and frenetic action that will probably be liked by any action fan who only looks for bullets and explosions but those who look for something more resonant will not find it here. It's not necessarily bad, but it definitely makes you wonder if it was worth it and in my case it wasn't.… Expand

And they truly wasted their best asset in this movie. An no, I'm not talking about Mark Wahlberg or Rhonda Rousey, I mean Iko Uwais. Best known for his work in the foreign movie The Raid. He is an amazing martial artist and every scene he was doing his thing, they ruined with many cut scenes and "shaky" cam footage. They took these ok to solid action movie actors, added a plot done many times before, threw a lazy "twist" at the end, and turned into what should have been a straight to DVD movie.… Expand

This is the most convoluted disjointed unbelievable clown show I ever saw. Not even Mark Wahlberg could save this one. I'm certain that he is embarassed on his way to the bank.
