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

Maybe I am weird, but I think it was refreshing film, better than most current action films with uncommon plot. Ronda and other actors could be used better, but generally, I was satisfied.

The film itself it cool in how it portrays a black op like team. How the small detail of them signing “resignation” papers to the CIA in case they get caught so that the CIA can deny they work for them.

How the small detail of them signing “resignation” papers to the CIA in case they get caught so that the CIA can deny they work for them. Cool things like that and the drones/IT parts are simple but really show how insane our “heroes” are. No spoiler here but Mark is a crazy a**hole. The beginning is fun with some cool shots and wicked modern-day technology and modern tactics that really show off how intense an operation, like the beginning one is. Mark has some one liners that are kind of funny but really, he is just a massive d***. He has this problem where he thinks too fast and to slow that down he snaps a rubber band on his wrist. The pain makes him come back to our level, cool idea but in the end, you get annoyed with the snap. If you put Tom Hanks Captain Miller from SPR and give him this tick. I would love that, but since Mark is not nice and you don’t care/root for him it doesn’t work out as well. The action is cool but very shaky. There is no John Wick type action scene. By that I mean that the action is not shot in a wide angle with minimal cuts just pure action. This doesn’t have that; a lot of cuts happen for no reason.… Expand

"Mile 22" was a bit of a loose film, although the story was good, the characters and their performances were very bad, the location in the Bogotá movie is not at all like a South Asian city, and photography is very bad with many cuts of 2 seconds that are tiresome, the director Peter Berg"Mile 22" was a bit of a loose film, although the story was good, the characters and their performances were very bad, the location in the Bogotá movie is not at all like a South Asian city, and photography is very bad with many cuts of 2 seconds that are tiresome, the director Peter Berg took out the worst movie of his career perhaps near Battleship, and the worst thing is that it comes with his acting formula, Mark Wahlberg who acted badly in the film, but the good thing is that He thanked my country Colombia for allowing him to make this film.… Expand

Mile 22 starts out with a bang and has an excellent surprise action sequence - however after that the story becomes less enticing. Mark Wahlburg's character for whatever reason is very annoying and can't seem to keep his emotions in check. You would expect a more level headed individualMile 22 starts out with a bang and has an excellent surprise action sequence - however after that the story becomes less enticing. Mark Wahlburg's character for whatever reason is very annoying and can't seem to keep his emotions in check. You would expect a more level headed individual for a person in his position but that unfortunately is not the case. Wahlberg's character comes off as a narcissistic, emotionally unstable lunatic who is constantly snapping a Lance Armstrong type bracelet against his wrist. Both his personality and the bracelet snapping become more and more annoying as the movie progresses. What makes this movie somewhat watchable is the mind numbing action sequences but with nothing else to provide beyond that - I have to give a 3/10.… 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.
