Sorry Guys for the late post :(
Another
Movie premiere from the generous @novocinemas_qtr & @gulffilm. @mile22movie
stars Mark Wahlberg as Jimmy Silva, John Malkovich, Iko Uwais, my personal
favorite @laurencohan & Ronda Rousey, which follows a story of elite but
“Ghost” members of CIA task force that has to escort a high-priority asset 22miles
to an extraction point.
The opening was set in an
undisclosed location in Russia, wherein a raid is about to happen. Team Head
John Malkovich as “The Mother” watched over his team from another undisclosed
location.
The next scene was changed to an
Asian country, with Li Noor played by Uwais is about to surrender to American
Govt in one condition: a safe passage to the U.S. okay, here comes Jimmy Silva
and his “Overwatch Team” assigned to Escort and protect Li Noor. From there,
threats & bombs, & goons & guns are waiting for them on their way
to their egress point.
Okay, I’ll tell you the good side
first. The storyline really attracts my attention. I am not into action films
(just no other choice because of my husband haha!), the twist & the idea,
although not perfect, but for me it is a breath of fresh air. Plus, No dull
moments, no long conversation, & fast-paced. Literally an action film.
Now, let’s go to the bad points.
First, shaky shots. Looks like a semi Blairwitch Project of 2018 in a bad way.
2nd, Jimmy’s fast talks are too much. The film will definitely survive on its
own even without those monologues. 3rd, I was expecting more from the
characters but they were underutilized. 4th, that “to be continued” style which
left viewers hanging with the question “What the heck happened?! Is not so good
to end the story.
But here’s the thing, since I
enjoyed Mile22, I recommend it with 3/5 stars. Just be open minded & dont
expect a Mission Impossible or John wick level. Nope. not even close. But I
must say, Mile22 is entertaining. If you have no other things to do, you can
spend two hours watching its decent storyline.
