Mile 22 (2018) is an intense action thriller directed by Peter Berg, starring Mark Wahlberg, who also serves as a producer on the film. The movie blends high-octane action sequences with a tense, high-stakes narrative about a CIA operative tasked with extracting a valuable informant from a foreign country.

The story revolves around James Silva, a highly skilled CIA operative leading a tactical team tasked with extracting a valuable informant, Li Noor, from an Indonesian city. Li possesses vital intelligence regarding a shipment of nuclear weapons, and the team is sent to safely transport him across 22 miles to an extraction point. However, the mission quickly goes awry as they face relentless enemies trying to stop them, leading to a tense and brutal journey.

As they navigate the perilous terrain, Silva’s team must contend with an array of obstacles, including political intrigue, betrayal, and constant firefights. The film’s pacing is relentless, with each minute ratcheting up the tension as the team races against time to ensure the informant reaches safety.

The film received mixed reviews, with critics praising the action sequences and performances (particularly Iko Uwais), but some felt the plot lacked depth and the pacing was uneven. The movie’s reliance on fast-paced action and quick cuts garnered both praise and criticism, as some found it difficult to follow in certain scenes.
