"Mile 22" is awful. It is, essentially, a haphazard assemblage of random sounds and images. The story is basic, a race against time, get from point A to point B. Director Peter Berg has so many cuts in this movie that even a fairly good fight scene is so cut up that it's hard to follow. There's grisly, unintelligible violence and Mark Wahlberg talking to fast that, after a while, you don't even care what he's saying. I'm impressed the this movie got made. As a lover of action films, even bad ones, "Mile 22" is vile and entirely unwatchable.
Note: Just read in Entertainment Weekly that Mark Wahlberg is hoping "Mile 22" is the start of a franchise for him. Ugh!! Won't see a second one! Surely Wahlberg can find a better concept for both a franchise and a movie character.
