Hi everybody! Today your hosts review Marky Mark’s latest action thriller Mile 22. It is a solid action film with a bad and over used storyline. The biggest shining light is Iko Uwais’ martial arts stunts. It is very reminiscent of the older martial arts films and is just a joy to watch. The guys pretty much stay on topic except Mike does bring up Moviepass and surprise, Matt actually used it to see Mile 22! YEAH!!! Using a service, he has paid for is a great thing.
For the most part Mysterious Mike enjoyed the film. The story was not great, but he loved the action sequences and his boy Mark Wahlberg. He gives Mile 22 3 out of 5 Reels. Matt was not a fan of this film. He did enjoy the acting especially by his sweetheart Lauren Cohan (what is wrong with this guy does he love every girl he sees on the big screen, man he needs a girlfriend!) and thought Iko Uwais was amazing! He was disappointed that John Malkovich did not have a bigger role and spent the entire movie talking into a microphone. He gives it 2 out of 5 Reels.
Thank you for liking, subscribing, rating, reviewing, and telling your friends about our podcast. The guys will be back with Episode #43 on Thursday reviewing a puppet movie, not one for the kids though, The Happytime Murders.
