A group of CIA agents were ordered to escort a mysterious figure with an important password in his hand to the United States. The city center is only 22 miles away from the airport, but all kinds of killers have already been ambushed around them. There are many dangers along the way, and they are ready to fight at any time!
"22 Miles" combines street gunfights and super vicious close-quarters fighting, killing blood and blood, and it is a bloody and violent movie, but in order to prove that he is not a "brainless action movie", So in the end, I will give you an unexpected big reversal, turning it into an espionage thriller full of "countermeasures". For fans of "heavy taste" who like violence and excitement, this will be a highly entertaining movie. Movie!
It's not Matt Damon, it's Mark Wahlberg, don't get me wrong
Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon are famous "brother faces". Not only do they look alike, but they also have a bit of a similar scene in action movies, so the two are often confused. Matt Damon is the man in Bourne, and Mark Wahlberg is the actor in Mile 22, so if you mess up again, I'll ask you to stand in the back !
Speaking of the CIA agent played by Mark Wahlberg this time, it is very different from the calm and calm image he used to have. He has serious emotional problems. He often curses people constantly because he is out of control. Seeing that this person is responsible for national security and is working at the moment of life and death at any time, how much pressure will there be, so this role is not like a hero, more like a person who is emotionally tense and is about to be overwhelmed by the environment, It also allowed Mark Wahlberg to show his "extreme" acting skills that were different from the past.
The real hero is actually Indonesian martial arts star Iko Uwais
This is a very "extreme" movie, not only Mark Wahlberg, a bipolar geek, often has extreme emotions, but even Lauren Cohan, the heroine of the zombie series "The Walking Dead", is also a profanity. Mouth, a ruthless character who kills without mercy
But the real hero should be the Indonesian martial arts star Iko Uwais. At the same time, this is also the most "extreme" character. He holds important information and goes to the place of the Americans to ask for asylum. This seems profound What is the purpose of the mysterious man in the test, I really have to see it until the end to know, and because the important plots are concentrated on him, and the impressive martial arts scenes are also concentrated on him, so he is the male protagonist Not too much.
Speaking of Iko Uwais, he became famous with the Indonesian action film "The Raid", and even became popular in Hollywood. In addition to the real kung fu of close-quarters fighting, he also established a set of martial arts routes of his own. Said, it is to "beat to death mercilessly", as long as the shot is made, the opponent will definitely break his hands, feet and neck, and it will be completely broken wherever it should be.
This time, in "22 Miles", he continued this extremely violent fighting method again, and many killing pictures were beyond imagination, including "pressing the enemy's neck into the broken car window, and then sliding it hard, causing the enemy's The neck was slashed by the broken glass of the car window", these amazing pictures will definitely make the timid audience scream!
The battlefield is not on the front lines, but in your daily life
The director of this film, Peter Berg, seems to like this kind of thriller theme involving the international situation. His films "Change of Dynasty" and "The Lonely Survivor" both describe the cruel world of the war on terror, but in the recent "Terrorist" "Assault on Boston" and "22 Miles" have clearly shown you a fact
That is, the real war is no longer in the so-called "front lines", but around your life, it may happen at any time, terrorists have already penetrated into your interior, and are everywhere, which is the most American One thing that is tense, no wonder the male protagonist in the film is tense at all times, which also reflects the biggest panic in American society at the moment!
In times of greater pressure, violent movies are needed more
In addition to "reacting reality", the function of film has the most important purpose of "realizing fantasy", and the function of violent film is actually both.
In terms of "reacting reality", violent movies can be a vigilance, telling you the dangers of violence or war in the real world, and in terms of "realizing fantasy", violent movies can become a kind of relief pipe, when you are in real life I met a lot of annoying people and things, but because of law and morality
So you can't blow their heads with a single shot. Violent movies can realize those unscrupulous fantasies for you without hurting anyone. Of course, this can also be an outlet for emotional catharsis, so although violence is in real life. It's not desirable, but it can be a good creative element in the movie and should be viewed in a healthy way. If gunfights and fights can make so many tricks, who says violence can't be aesthetics?
