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.

I often had trouble understanding what was going on, and since all the characters come off as arrogant jerks, I also found it hard to care.

Almost all of this message is drowned out by the sound of big guns heaving.

If you fancy 90 minutes of nameless extras getting shot in the face, go ahead. Otherwise, it's mostly the sh---iest of sh---y s--t.

Why hire such a skilled martial artist like Iko Uwais when you’re just going to bury his choreography and stunt work under a tsunami of shaky cam and rapid editing?

1/4

It forces audiences to endure a ridiculous central performance that single-handedly derails the entire movie.

There is absolutely no way of knowing what's going on, who's fighting who, who's shooting what.

One of the most garbage films I’ve seen in a while. I couldn’t actually finish it. Pure trash.

Action Without Emotional Weight Mile 22 had the potential to be a gripping espionage thriller, but it stumbles due to a thinly written script and poor pacing. The first half drags considerably, with a slow setup that fails to build tension effectively. The only standout moment in this stretch is the embassy/hospital fight scene, which is well-choreographed and intense, showcasing Iko Uwais' impressive physicality. The second half picks up with car chases and action sequences that are executed well, but the emotional connect is missing. The entire premise feels shaky and under-written, making it hard to invest in the characters or their mission. Mark Wahlberg's manic, rambling performance as Silva doesn't help, as his character lacks depth and believability. 5/10: watchable for its action, but the weak script and lack of emotional weight hold it back from being anything more than a mediocre thriller.

It's hilarious how many people had trouble following the plot of a movie that's just 90% tropes we've all seen a thousand times. How can a movie this predictable be hard for anyone to follow? If you didn't like this movie because it's cliche then fair enough, but if you didn't like it because you were confused then you just aren't that bright.

Why make a movie completely centered on Mark Wahlberg’s character—portraying him as a fearless, genius, John Wick–style leader of an elite special-ops unit—and then never show him doing anything impressive? Instead, we watch his supposedly highly trained team get slaughtered while he uses their sacrifices to retreat, only to be outsmarted by another guy in the end. What was the point of building him up as such a skilled, smart, unstoppable leader if the movie never actually delivers on it and he gets beat at every turn?
