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.

He seems to yell in a very self-indulgent way at mostly female characters throughout the movie and seems to just like to hear hear himself spout long sentences. If he wasn't such a turnoff the movie would have been more tolerable IMHO.… Expand

Not nearly Peter Berg's best effort but I was still entertained. Overall a low to solid 6 a B-.

They've made some great action films together (Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon & Patriots Day). This is their least successful collaboration, but it's still got some solid physical engagement. Wahlberg plays the leader of a highly-specialized secret ops team that's assigned to transport an "asset" 22 miles thru a highly inhospitable city. There are slammin' fights (with the best featuring Iko Uwais), destructive car chases and high-kill shootouts. On the down side, the script is cluttered with too much fast, impenetrable chatter, attempting to sound like Aaron Sorkin dialogue without the smarts. People don't see this genre for the words and there's sufficient violence to satisfy fans.… Expand

A toxic protagonist kills the entire thing.

I could have dealt with confused narrative that can't decide if it wants to be a nuanced look at the lives of paramilitary operatives or a first-person shooter game. Even the subpar editing everyone keeps talking about didn't bother me. I liked the action for its barrage of blood and gunfire. Mile 22 was even nice enough to include Iko Uwais kicking butt all The Raid style. I just couldn't enjoy any of it because front and center the entire running time is Wahlberg's character James Silva verbally assaulting friends and foes alike.

You know you have a problem when everyone you come into contact with wonders what your major malfunction is. They toss around theories of narcissism or some kind of dissociative disorder, but I find myself siding with the character that said "he's just an *sshole."

That's it. That's really all I can say. I've sat down to write this review I don't known how many times now and have hit a roadblock every single one of them. The protagonist's presence is so overbearing that it's hard to notice anything else in the movie. Other than the bloodshed that is. Which means that Mile 22 wastes both Iko Uwais and Lauren Cohan. Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg's winning streak has come to an end, and it's all thanks to one terrible lead character.… Expand

The cast was good, Marky Mark was great and the story was solid.

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 nomination12 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

Its high point lies in the conclusion where they bet everything to make the film reasonable, risking the little dignity that the film still had. Hasty. 4.2/10… Expand

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. Cool things like that and the drones/ITThe 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. 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

Esta buena la acción, y el final la salva, pero en general la historia es mala y predecible. Parece q a todos les pagaron por salir 5min.
