Milla 22: el escape

Overall the movie is a good action movie and I hope the desired franchise happens

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. ;)

As I read reviews for summer action movies, reviews that position these movies as something that they are not; these are popcorn, leave your brain at the door action movies, I'm left to assume that these less than honest reviews are trolling reviews.

Mile 22, The Meg, John Wick... do what they are produced to do; entertain regardless of physics, gravity or good sense.

Ebert knew this; review a movie for its purpose and audience.

Mile 22 does what it was made to do; to distract you from your everyday life. Serious it is not, full of gun fu, car chases, violence and revenge, it's nothing new, if you're looking for this type of movie you won't be disappointed.

Well, sure it aint oscar material here, and it won't be getting any prizes for originality, but for what the movie is supposed to be, it is surely not deserving anything less than a 6, i have seen endless 1 -3 star reviews, what's up with that?, i mean seriously? have this people even watched the same movie, or are we just lobbying right now? because you have tones of absolute garbage movies here on IMDB being rated 9 and 10's deceveing people and on the opposite end, you have ok movies being rated 1 and 2's.

The Mile 22 is as expected an action packed movie, it is fast paced, has a decent plot, it is somewhat realistic, (if u compare with the likes of other recent action movies like let us say, Skyscraper) and yet, people are just throwing 1 and 2's like if this was some sort of sharknado B movie of the action movies, Jesus people, rate movies seriously, what is wrong with u people these days???

Mile 22 has a simple goal in its script, maybe too simple, get this man from point A to point B. The script itself has a great twist at the end, but for the rest of the movie it's lazy. We get to know everything about Mark Wahlberg's characters through 2 minutes of exposition, which is Michael Bay-type lazy. And for the rest of the movie he doesn't really change, nor do any of the other characters. The action is entertaining, but it is shaky and quickly cut together, and not like Paul Greengrass, more like Columbiana. I thought Hollywood was done with this trope of cutting quickly to hide the action, John Wick and Atomic Blonde showed us that. But this movie does it again. Overall, the movie is just meh, not great, not the worst, just meh. And I expected better from Peter Berg.
