What happens

Mile 22 is a 2018 American espionage action thriller film directed by Peter Berg and written by Lea Carpenter, from a story by Carpenter and Graham Roland. The film stars Mark Wahlberg, Iko Uwais, John Malkovich, Lauren Cohan, and Ronda Rousey. It follows an elite top secret CIA unit composed of paramilitary officers from the Special Activities Division's Ground Branch, that has to escort a high-priority asset, a rogue police officer, 22 miles to an extraction point while being hunted by the government. The film marks the fourth collaboration between Berg and Wahlberg, following Lone Survivor, Deepwater Horizon, and Patriots Day. The film was released in the United States on August 17, 2018, by STX Entertainment, and grossed $66 million worldwide. It received mostly negative reviews, with the critical consensus from Rotten Tomatoes calling it a "thrill-deficient action thriller". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
