Action flick tries too hard....
“Mile 22” is the kind of film that looks better in its theatrical trailer than in its entirety. Patterned after the “Mission: Impossible” films, with a cast headed by a star, it is packed with action and stunts but comes to little more than a noisy ninety minutes that relies on elements of more successful movies and fails to add much that’s new.<br /><br />Jimmy Silva (Mark Wahlberg) is part of an elite paramilitary team called Overwatch, which is staging a raid on a Russian safe house that goes completely awry.<br /><br />Sixteen months later, the team is situated in the fictional Southeast Asian country of Indocarr. Li Noor (Iko Uwais), an Indocarr Special Forces officer and a trusted source for the U.S. Embassy, claims to know the location of a missing cache of radioactive powder discs that can be used to make dirty bombs. He will exchange the information for transport out of the country.<br /><br />The Indocarr government demands that Noor be handed over to it, but the U.S. government wants to get him immediately to a waiting plane. Silva, partner Alice Kerr (Lauren Cohan, “The Walking Dead”), and squad members Sam Snow (Ronda Rousey) and William “Dougie” Douglas III (Carlo Alban) are assigned to transport Noor from the American Embassy to the nearest airfield — 22 miles away.<br /><br />Most of the film deals with the danger-fraught trip. Director Peter Berg, who joins forces with Wahlberg on this, their fourth film collaboration, knows how to stage action. There’s no question about that. But he’s less successful at drawing us into the story. After a suspenseful opening sequence, with Silva and his team closing in on the safe house as Bishop (John Malkovich) broadcasts minute-by-minute details to them from afar, the movie jumps to shoot ‘em ups, car chases, explosions, motorcycle-riding assassins, and rocket launchers. Yes, these scenes are exciting, but because we haven’t been given enough to feel invested in the mission, they feel awfully empty.<br /><br />Wahlberg has done films like this before and fits easily into the role of Silva. To make the character more than a live-action G.I. Joe, the writers have made him bipolar. Aside from a couple of scenes in which he rattles off his dialogue with machine-gun speed, however, this disorder doesn’t figure into the proceedings other than to make him reckless.<br /><br />The stand-out of the movie is Uwais, who delivers some beautifully choreographed action scenes — one in which he’s handcuffed to a table — that really crackle, making the other action scenes pale by comparison. Using martial arts, he takes on more than one bad guy at a time, dispatching them with breakneck speed. With his high kicks, acrobatics, and lightning-fast moves, his grace and effortless confidence are reminiscent of martial arts icon Bruce Lee.<br /><br />Malkovich plays Bishop as cool and calm even as plans go haywire. He directs the team through a building in which any room, any nook, any possible place to hide can mean death. Never ruffled, he’s the voice not only of authority but of reassurance.<br /><br />To distinguish “Mile 22” from other action flicks, there are a number of twists, mostly in the movie’s last few minutes, but these seem like plot zingers rather than logical explanations of what has occurred. It takes a while to put the pieces in place, and that’s a problem. Twists should answer questions, not raise them. The problem is emphasis and focus. Critical scenes are glossed over quickly, so when their importance is revealed late in the game, it seems terribly contrived and frustrating.<br /><br />Rated R, “Mile 22” is a standard-issue action picture with guns blazing, cars being blown up, and bullets flying. The rapid-fire editing — few shots exceed five seconds — is exhausting even in a film that runs just 94 minutes.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : In a visceral modern thriller from the director of Lone Survivor, Mark Wahlberg stars as James Silva, an operative of the CIA's most highly-prized and little-known unit. Aided by a top-secret tactical command team, Silva must transport an asset (Iko Uwais) who has vital information to an airfield for extraction before the enemy closes in. Also starring Lauren Cohan, Rhonda Rousey, and John Malkovich, this film is "loaded with edge of your seat action" (Steve Weintraub, Collider).Bonus Content:.
