critics consensus

Mile 22 lets the bullets fly -- and not much else -- in a thrill-deficient action thriller whose title proves sadly fitting for a film that feels close to a marathon endurance test. Read critic reviews

Audience Reviews for Mile 22

Aug 10, 2020

Whenever Iko Uwais is on screen kickin' ass, Mile 22 has something to offer you. All other moments of the movie are skippable at best.

Gimly M Super Reviewer

Mile 22 is an action-packed, if somewhat rote, espionage thriller. When an informant with information about the location of dirty bomb materials makes a deal for extradition to the United States a highly skilled CIA team has to get him 22 miles a to covert pick-up sight. Mark Wahlberg, Lauren Cohan, Ronda Rousey, and John Malkovich lead the cast and give pretty decent performances. And director Peter Berg does a good job at bringing the action and at making it intense and exciting. However, the script is kind of weak; as there are several loose plot threats and the "who's doing what and why" can be hard to follow at times. Yet despite its problems, Mile 22 is an entertaining and provocative film.

*Methodically touches thumbs to key points on fingers and palms* Yeah, this was totally the worst movie of the summer.

There is something dynamic and urgent about the plot at first, but soon this generic propagandist movie descends into mindless chaos (with an awfully shaky camera and choppy editing that don't even allow us to locate ourselves geographically) and toward a preposterous ending.
