Mile 22

I actually thoroughly enjoyed this movie. At times it appeared as if they had intended for Tarantino to direct it though, especially in regards to the delivery of many of the lines. From a movie like this, you expect gratuitous violence, but the dialogs were cheesy on occasion. Having worked with some special forces operators in the past, one of their archetypes is someone who takes themselves way too seriously, as mark's character does.

The pacing of the movie was so fast it lent itself to a second viewing, which was more enjoyable than the first. I think this film may have had more success if it was 20 minutes longer or so, to space out the cheesy parts of the script. I do believe that the quick pacingplays into mark's character's ADHD significantly. I thought the action was well choreographed for the most part as well.

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

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.

Despite some of the over analytical or negative reviews that came before, this is a good film.

Some sharp twists that keep you guessing, with very current story lines & technology for 2018.

A very strong cast, with very strong characters. Yes, Mark W is in your face a lot, but that is the personality of the guy in the film. Kinda reminded me of his brother's character in Blue Bloods.

This kept me & my wife on the proverbial edge of our seats until the very end.

Was it an epic? Of course not - it's an action film.

My only complaint - which is why I didn't give it an 8 - was a somewhat unsatisfying ending. It left too many things hanging. So now I am waiting for Mile 44 - the sequel!

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. ;)
