“I’ll see you tomorrow.”

From Mile 22.

Jimmy Silva (Mark Wahlberg) leads an elite CIA team (including Ronda Rousey and Carlo Alban) of assassins codenamed Overwatch that are sent in when all else fails.  Their duties range from taking out a Russian sleeper cell in America to being stationed at an American Embassy, as they currently are.  When an informant, Li Noor, (Iko Uwais) of team member Alice (Lauren Cohan) arrives at the embassy claiming to have information of both a terrorist attack and a corrupt government, Jimmy is reluctant to believe him, but changes his mind when the Ambassador (Poorna Jagannathan) is visited by the host country’s leading defense man (Sam Medina) asking for the informant’s return… dead or alive.  Before Noor will unlock the heavily-encrypted drive containing the information, he wants to be given asylum and placed on a plane to America within eight hours, when the drive will erase itself forever.  After an assassination attempt proves the Embassy to be unsafe, Jimmy contacts the rest of the Overwatch team, lead by director Bishop (John Malkovich).  The team on the ground will have to take Li Noor twenty-two miles from the US Embassy through the dangerous, congested city to an airplane waiting to carry him to safety in America.  Shortly after they set out, the team is attacked by corrupt military and police trying to stop Noor from turning on them; another major obstacle comes from members of Russian intelligence looking to make a statement with Overwatch’s failure.  Jimmy and the rest of his team are forced to change their plan and place their all on the line.

While the trailers seemed to only show action from the second half of the movie, the action kicks off right from the beginning and carries on through the entire film.  Wahlberg leads a solid and talented cast, with Cohan and Uwais bringing great action to their roles.  The story is full of twists, which keeps the story and characters constantly evolving, but not so many surprises that the story gets lost.  Mile 22 is an action-packed thriller that will keep viewers on the edge of their seat.
