Movie Matinee Madness - Mile 22



Peter Berg has made some interesting films, collaborated a lot with Marky Mark and told some interesting true stories, reimagined for the cinema, this however is not one of those tales.

Mile 22, looks great, but don't be tricked, it's a complicated thing...



Rotten Tomatoes has given this a shocking score thus far but all credit has to go to Iko Uwais as Li Noor, the material arts and action scenes with him in it, make this a passable film.

Ronda Rousey was a random casting choice, but I guess it gets her fans to buy tickets and Marky Mark was not at his best in this role.

Unfortunately this aimed high, promised a lot and completely 100% underdelivered. Mile 22 is a very average action film and with Predator on the way, Crazy Rich Asians slaying at the Box Office and school holidays incoming (AGAIN) this will be short lived at your local cinema.

2.5 Stars, all for Iko Uwais, that underwear 2:1 fighting scene, WOW!
