Mile 22

I'll keep this brief. I don't think people are getting this movie. I think Wahlberg played his part perfectly, when you consider who his character is. The whole cast delivered. Watching them in their moments was effective enough in developing the characters to drive the story. Excellent action sequences. The plot was somewhat predictable, but still satisfying to watch unfold. I'd recommend It. I've seen a lot of garbage lately, after which I felt like I'd wasted my time. This was not one of those cases. Say hello to your mother for me. ;)

I've been looking forward to this movie for a while now and I have to say I was a little let down. The action is really good but the plot and script were not so good, especially Wahlberg's character. He wouldn't stop talking in these OCD ramblings as they tried to make him look like a gifted mind that is on overdrive 24/7. He came off like an old Dennis Leary except not funny and more rambling.

I saw this movie last night, and I was hoping to be entertained, but I walked away disappointment.

I think the acting was a bit too much and strange, especially from Wahlberg. He's a bit too brash and I couldn't connect with him.

Cohan's acting was pretty good on the big screen, quite a difference from Walking Dead.

I am pleased to see that Rousey getting to act and have more lines to work on. I think she has a future.

IF they are going to make a sequel out of it...all I have to say is, Calm down, Wahlberg...

I understand the criticisms about this movie. But the criticisms fail to consider the movie as a whole and only consider minor things. It is very difficult with respect to me to like a movie, yet I liked this one! I will mention the pros and cons and let the reader decides. I will start with the cons to explain why this movie doesn't get a high rating despite it deserves a lot more.

Cons (as mentioned by criticisms):

1) Camera shaking. It is not perfect but not too bad. It doesn't prevent you from enjoying the movie.

2) Fast dialog. This is an action movie - not a drama. More dialog will make it boring.

3) Story. This a personal opinion. I personally like the story.

Now, why I would give such a movie 8 stars although I am very difficult to be satisfied by any movie.

Pros:

1) In most cases, in action movies, the good guy (hero) starts weak and suddenly becomes unbeatable at the end. Or sometimes the hero is already unbeatable from the beginning to the end. In this movie, we have a fair war. The good guys (heroes) lose and lose and lose from the beginning to the end. The bad guys are tough and really tough, and many times in the movie you wonder "how are they going to make it!?".

2) This movie is very fast. Everything is fast. You will never get bored. No unnecessary lengthy dialog. It is full from the beginning to the end unlike other movies where the director just pass minutes by unnecessary lengthy dialog and scenes.

3) The twist. Although you may predict the end, but it is really satisfying connecting all the parts of the movie into a single picture.

I write this review because I think this movie got a lot less than what it deserves.

This is an action movie that is fast, straight without any derailing. Good and bad guys are almost equal - Fair war- this creates a lot of thrill. Actions scenes are good and thrilling. The story is also good with a very satisfying end.

Don't listen to criticisms. I strongly recommend this movie. You will not be disappointed.

Saw the movie tonight and while it was full of action as I was expecting, it left me thinking what the hell?

It had a decent enough plot but I don't know. I can't explain it too well.

Ronda Rousey was underutilized, language was as expected but a little much.

I don't know if I'll see it again. A little bit of a let down
