The United States has such a mysterious organization watch group, which is specialized in the third type of incidents that are not suitable for diplomatic and military solutions, and is directly authorized by the President of the United States to open fire.

One day, the team smashed a Russian safe house, took several hard drives, and killed all Russian agents in the last words of an 18-year-old boy, "You are so wrong."

A few days later, in the meeting of the members of the organization, it was found that in another previous mission, only weapons and fake paintings were found, and no target materials for making nuclear weapons were found. The informant of this mission was a local special policeman Li Nuer. (Many friends have confused this mission with the mission of the Russian safe house. The director did not explain clearly enough here. Take a closer look at the mission of the safe house. At that time, only the hard disk data was taken away, no weapons and other items, and the police It's coming soon, so there won't be a story about finding a weapon later!)

At this time, the figure of Russian high-ranking officials began to appear in the movie. The reason and purpose of the appearance will be explained later in the plot!

One day, the informant special police Li Nuer went to the embassy to surrender, carrying a highly confidential hard disk file about the current location of the target raw material. The password could not be cracked. To the plane bound for America!

The team members confronted Li Nuer several times, but still could not get him to speak, so he had to agree to his request and send him to the airport 22 miles away, which is where the title of the film came from!

In order to force the U.S. side to make friends, in the embassy, ​​on the road, in the restaurant, and in the corridor, the Indonesian side will not hesitate to retake or kill Li Nuer at the cost of sabotaging its diplomacy with the United States. The whole film is even the most emotional throughout the year. The action and gun battle scenes also appear constantly in it!

At the expense of most of the team members, Li Nuer was finally sent to the airport, but his sentence "Say hello to your headquarters on my behalf" made Silva ponder, remembering the example given by his boss "Before 911, The pilot instructor didn't understand what the terrorists were saying that you don't need to learn to land on the ground." Did he miss something because of his lack of imagination?

The plot then revealed the truth. The mother of the 18-year-old agent who died in the Russian safe house was the Russian high-ranking official who appeared in the previous plot. Team members, get revenge for their son!

The game is still going on. There may only be interests between countries, and there is no right or wrong. As for the death of soldiers, who cares!

    In addition to the lengthy background explanation in the opening 30 minutes, the overall rhythm is actually quite good, but the editing is too chaotic, even to the point where most action scenes can't tell the difference between the enemy and the enemy at all. Peter Berg's is really a bit disappointing. people disappointed

    After reading the script, Uwais asked the director, "With my skills, the accuracy of long-range shots, and the dominance of hand-to-hand combat, you only need to say where the airport is, and I can arrive in time by myself. Why do I need to be escorted?"... This film The plot logic is flawed. The irony is that the real highlight is - those indoor & street shootouts that exclude Uwais! Very pure Hollywood style of stealing fire. Three and a half!
