Mile 22

So this weekend I finally saw #mile22 and damn it, was I disappointed!!! I like watching Marky Mark movies but neither of the films he has done with Peter berg has caught my eye but I figured this was interesting enough to see in theaters. I was wrong. 16 blocks and Safe house has told this story better. The only difference between those films and this one, is that they had an ending. This film spent too much time trying to set up the trilogy. I’m not even interested in seeing the next installment because Mark Wahlberg’s character is so unlikeable. Spent the whole time thinking Iko Uwais would make his character humble when they find common ground as the story progressed but that didn’t happened. He was an asshole the whole film. Not even a likable asshole (like how Red was an asshole on that 70’s show but was still likable). The fights choreography is As brutal and violent and gruesome as the film “the raid” but no where near it when it comes to directing and editing. Whoever Peter Berg or the studio hired to edit made a horrible decision. They ruined every chance they had to build suspense, they ruined Iko Uwais perfectly choreographed fight scenes and honestly, they ruined the whole movie. If the story was edited linear, maybe the story could of worked for me but the editing as all over the place. The story was all over the place. Too much coverage, too much story going on at the same time, not enough pacing, it’s just too much. Not worth seeing in theaters.
