 Failure is not an option. If we get him out, we save millions of lives. Requesting hand of God. Coming down. So is Mark Wahlberg about to get into the martial arts game? Well, let's find out. My name is Brandon Keith-Avery and this is just my opinion. Hey, what's going on everyone? Thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review for mile 22. I really do appreciate it. Now, when I first saw the trailers for this film, I mean, it looks somewhat interesting to me, but nothing that just really got me excited, you know, but I am a fan of Mark Wahlberg. This is also being directed by Peter Berg and I am a fan of him. I've pretty much liked all of his films. He did the rundown Friday Night Lights, Hancock, which came out in 2008 with Will Smith. A lot of people just kind of crap on that film or like the ending of it. You know, I don't necessarily agree. I thoroughly enjoy that film. He also did battleships, something that I am a fan of too. Some of the acting was pretty bad in that movie from Rihanna and another character. I think he was like Hawaiian. He was like a paraplegic or didn't have his legs or something like that. And a bad acting, but I really did enjoy battleships. I don't even have on that movie, but now that I think about it, I kind of want to buy it for like all the effects and action and things like that. He also did Lone Survivor, which I'm a fan of, and also Deepwater Horizon, Patriots Day. You know, so he has a very nice filmography. You know, so when I knew Peter Berg directed this, I was like, you know, he doesn't seem that interest, doesn't seem that interesting to me initially, but you know, he has a great track worker. So I'm on board. But what really got me excited about this is when I saw it, when I found that the Iqoi Waste was in this film. He's an Indonesian brother, you know, martial artist. They do a martial arts by the name of Salat. I found out about him. I want to say he popped on the scene for me. I'm trying to guess. It was a 2012 or 2013 with the raid right here. One of the best martial arts films that I've ever seen. I have the raid right there. I also have the raid Redemption. And there's just a whole bunch of ton of beat ass in that movie. So I'm like, okay, you got Peter Berg, you got Mark Wahlberg, and you got this dude over here or whatever. Okay, this movie is going to be off the chain or whatever. And was it, you know, not so much. Now, while I did enjoy the action in this film, especially by Iqoi Waste and things like that, I mean, you got three actions seen. There's more than one action scene in this movie or more than three, but you got three to where you actually have the hand-to-hand action that I really like. I love martial arts and all that good stuff. I like hand-to-hand. I like weapons, but me personally, I like the hand-to-hand more than anything, especially if you have to use everything in your surroundings like a ninja or something like that. Two of those hand-to-hand action scenes was great. One of my graphs about this film is one of them. You could not see what was going on at all. I mean, the camera was all over the place chopping back and forth. I mean, it's chop city. The idea is chop, not slopped. And it was sloppy and one of the hand-to-hand middle scenes in the movie. So that was actually very frustrating. As far as Iqoi Waste's character himself, he finally learned English because I don't think that he knew English back in the day, but, you know, he does have some English dialogue in this movie. But Mark Wahlberg's character in this film was extremely annoying to me and I don't like what they did to it. I mean, I just wanted to jump into the screen and be like, dude, will you please shut the hell up? You were getting on my damn nerve. Now they tried to excuse it by giving you some backstory in the opening credits. Because what this film is about is Mark Wahlberg is a part of an underground organization that are like ghosts, like ninja, technical ghosts. And they go around supposedly saving the day and don't get any credit. This is like this rogue underground group called Overwatch. And, you know, just nobody hears about them and they are, it's kind of just like, you know, their version of Mission Impossible. And of course, you have to be, you know, very skillful in the mind and physically to be a part of some type of organization. And they just tried to write Mark Wahlberg's character as just some type of narcissistic, bipolar, psychotic, you know, just random guy that has all these problems and his mind goes a thousand miles a minute. And he has to wear a rubber band around his wrist to where if he's going out of control, he has to keep snapping and things like that. It did absolutely nothing for the story for me. I mean, it was just stupid. It was just a poor excuse to give a character bad writing. And this is the first time in a long time to where Mark Wahlberg was in the film and I just did not enjoy him. And he's like just griping at everybody just like, we have to get your job done and if we don't get it done, then we're all gonna die. And you don't want everybody to die because if everyone dies, nobody's gonna be left. And if nobody's gonna be left, you're not going to have anyone to play with. And if you don't have anyone to play with, you're gonna get bored. And if you're gonna get bored, you're gonna get bored out of your mind. If you lose your mind, your mind is gonna jump out your brain and then your heart's gonna jump out your chest. And that's gonna be real painful. Do you think that's gonna happen? No. If you don't want that to happen, he did that in like the entire movement. I'm just like, bruh, like stop it for real. You know, and like the action in this film other than that one part to where, you know, it's chop-seeding. You can't understand what's going on. It was very enjoyable. It was very brutal. It was very intense. And I was on and on and going back and forth. And I see like, okay, man, damn. But a little bit was over the top of me. I don't know how many times you can break somebody's leg and arm in a fight and they still come back. I mean, even if they have, you know, their adrenaline is cranked up to 11, you know, they're going to be disabled. You know, and like, I'm like, dude, how are you gonna... This dude's leg was broken, but then he was there still. He just acted like he didn't happen. We'll just still come to it. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, fighting and swinging and stuff. And like, while it was enjoyable, I was at the same time like, hey, you know, where is the realism in this? You know, and you know, you also have a pretty good cast in this movie. Of course, I mentioned Ekoi Waste. You also have John Malkovich in this movie. You also have that girl Juno. She, what is her name? You have Rhonda Rousey is in this. I almost forgot about her. I want to, it's this young girl who was in this film called Juno that came out in 2006. And I like her as an actress and I'm forgetting her name. Peter Berg is in this movie as well. You know, he always kind of pops up in his movie because he's an actor too. Okay. I can't find the girl's name or whatever, but you know, oh well, but you know, I liked her or whatever. If you know that movie Juno that I'm talking about that came out in 2006, then, you know, you know who I'm talking about. But something that I also did find, what's not interesting is I did not care about the characters at all for the most part. Like, you know, they're dying in this movie, kind of dropping like flies. And when they died, I wasn't just like, oh man, damn, I'm just like, or they're dead and the people in the film didn't care. So, you know, how can I care too? So this thing, that was a bad job. And just to be honest with you, you know, I don't want to spoil it for you. But something happened to us to it. And I was like, okay, huh, that's different. I didn't see that coming. But when I was driving home, I was thinking to myself, wait a minute, I wish they would have left that part out because now the entire movie just makes no damn sense at all. Like I'm just kind of frustrated, you know, as I was driving home and excuse me, I'm just a little frustrated now as I'm thinking about it. But this is a disappointing movie for me by Mark Wahlberg and Peter Berg. And, you know, it had great action and it was just over complicated. I mean, this film was trying a little bit too hard to seem edgy and like, you know, like, ooh, that's this new spy movie with assassins and things like that. You know, it just calmed down. It was just so much dialogue and people upset just trying to, you know, intensify the moments where it just wasn't believable, you know, in my opinion. If I had to rate my 22 out of a one out of 10, I would get a five out of 10. Yes, a five out of 10. But guys, that's just my opinion. Have you seen my 22 or do you want to see it? Have I turned you on? Have I turned you off? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me? Let me know down in the comment section below. Let's get this conversation going and keep it flowing.
