| Die Burger Karla Janse van Vuuren  Mag daar geen vervolg wees op dié foltering. | 2 |  |

| 24.com Ilan Preskovsky Like a hyper-active toddler on uppers, Mile 22 doesn’t sit still for a second, not to tell a story, not to develop its characters (not that it has much interest in either) and certainly not for its endless and increasingly numbing action set pieces (who knew this many explosions could be this boring?). | 2 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy Bad just about any way you cut it -- but, please, no more edits -- Mile 22 feels like driving over thousands of jarring bumps and potholes during the journey that I have no intention of ever taking again. Aside from a few decent (but very brief) action moments scattered amongst the rest of the forgettable and headache-inducing flotsam, you’ll want to exit before you even reach mile one. | 6 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Mile 22 lets the bullets fly -- and not much else -- in a thrill-deficient action thriller whose title proves sadly fitting for a film that feels close to a marathon endurance test. | 4 | |
