A D- from both Indiewire and Collider, yeesh.

 

Slash Film has it spot on.... "Action Movies Don’t Get More Incoherent and Exhausting Than This"

It looks so generic and boring and Mark Wahlberg is a boring actor that I don't like seeing in stuff.

clearly you haven't seen Ted

It is an atrocious film and the quicker STX goes out of business or fires everyone at the top the better.  

STX though has generally made some pretty good stuff have they not? Wouldn’t one bad film be the fault of the people making the movie rather than the studio distributing it? Or is the “badness” much deeper than that?

[Gamera]

4  positive  reviews and 8 negative reviews so far.

 

Doesn't sound that bad, tbh.

Yeah, I'm not sure where this "STX needs to shut down cause they make terrible movies" complex comes from. They've put out The Gift, The Edge of Seventeen, Molly's Game, and Adrift, all of which received very good to great reviews. This one's on the Bergs.

In that case, Markey Mark/Berg are 3 for 4 if you ask me

Scorching Take that will melt your keyboard :

 

This is the best Berg working right now in Hollywood.

They have made a few good things, but overall their slate is garbage.

I don’t know if some Freaky Friday shit happened to Peter Berg because “Mile 22” embodies all of the trappings of a Bay film, but somehow maintains Berg’s style. Oh crap. This is Peter Berg unleashed. The opening sequence lets you know right away that this is very much a Peter Berg film. It features all of the requirements: Violence, gore, guns, patriotic themes, people whose occupation involves some sort of national security, Marky Mark, and John Malkovich. Seriously, if you thought “Patriot’s Day” was Berg’s political stance, “Mile 22” continues that conversation as he channels his inner Michael Bay, and it is not good.

There's a bunch of videos on Peter Berg's IG of him fighting with the editor.

lmao DAMN. This is older skewing, so I don’t think WOM will hit immediately this weekend, but next week’s hold won’t be pretty.

I guess John Wick increased people's taste in action films en masse. That, or people disagree strongly with Berg's political philosophy. Either way, an action film with unnecessary shaky cam and fast-paced editing deserves reception like this in 2018. Iko Uwais deserved better.

Why include "mean spirited?"  That's an editorial comment, not a critique of the quality of the film.   That shows a bias on your part.

Mean-spirited is a quality.

What? Mean-Spirited is a quality.

 

edit: I didn’t see the above post.

 

edit: Im still thinking about this post. Saying “I found this movie to be mean spirited” is just as valid as saying “I found this movie to be fun”. Both are qualities that can be attributed to just any art.
