Mile 22 (2018)
A highly specialised CIA operative is tasked with transporting a police officer who holds life-threatening information out of a South-East Asian country, and then to extract that information before the enemy reaches them.
The movie stars Mark Wahlberg, alongside John Malkovich as his boss and Iko Uwais as the police officer in question in a much-praised role.
The movie is action-packed, with FlickDirect saying: “While a little graphic it is sure to entertain those that love the action genre while it keeps the rest of us amused and engaged to the very end.”
