Movie Review – Mile 22
—
Mile 22 fails on every level that an action movie can fail, and then makes up some new ways to fail. But wait, there’s good news: the Russian government is the bad guys again. Yeah! (More on that later.) This entire movie feels like the first 30 minutes of a much better movie. Meaning: they…

MI: Fallout follows closely on the heels of the previous movie and if you, like me, haven’t watched it recently, you might want to give it a re-watch before heading out to see the sequel. If you don’t…
