Critics Consensus

Mile 22 lets the bullets fly -- and not much else -- in a thrill-deficient action thriller whose title proves sadly fitting for a film that feels close to a marathon endurance test.

Chicago Reader

I often had trouble understanding what was going on, and since all the characters come off as arrogant jerks, I also found it hard to care.

Almost all of this message is drowned out by the sound of big guns heaving.

The Times (UK)

If you fancy 90 minutes of nameless extras getting shot in the face, go ahead. Otherwise, it's mostly the sh---iest of sh---y s--t.

Rated: 1/5

Why hire such a skilled martial artist like Iko Uwais when you’re just going to bury his choreography and stunt work under a tsunami of shaky cam and rapid editing?

Deep Focus Review

It forces audiences to endure a ridiculous central performance that single-handedly derails the entire movie.

Rated: 1/4

There is absolutely no way of knowing what's going on, who's fighting who, who's shooting what.

I liked the action and the movie went very fast. For those who say they didn't understand it, put on the captions and the dialogue for sure explains what's happening. Very good twist at the end.

I liked the action a lot. You had to be thinking with this movie and not just be lazily watching. Nice little twist in the end as well. Great movie!

I have no idea why this movie got such bad reviews. Possibly because regular people could not keep up. This was a good action-packed movie. Most movies bore me, so I play games on my phone while watching them, and I still catch all the details. Mile 22 was so fast-paced that I didn't need or want my phone. Two times, I had to rewind about 20 seconds so I could see what actually happened. And that's okay to keep my interest. I am so happy to see the sequel is being made and should be released this year in 2025!

This movie is just unbelievable and unlikable. Very confusing story which is hard to follow. Character motivations are all over the place and the characters are annoying.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
