Mile 22

In January 2019, I watched Mile 22 at Movix Kameari. I was quite touched by how tough the hero was. 

In April 2020, I watched it again on DVD. It was fun, though the pictures and sound were less spectacular than the last time. 

A realistic action movie. It depicts a fierce battle between a CIA agent team and the enemies. The CIA team is ordered to escort a man from the American Embassy in an Asian country to the airport for a reason but it is attacked by the enemies who desire to eliminate the man. I had not expected the turnabout toward the end at all and I do not want to watch it again when I have not fully prepared mentally and physically because it is too serious. 

Mark Wahlberg was acting the main character, James Silva, who is tougher and more nihilistic than the sniper who Wahlberg acted in Shooter. Silva is a crack CIA agent and the leader of the team that are ordered to guard the man. The crack agent has strong stomach and fortitude and he seems to think only about his mission and make a decision instantly as if he think of hesitating as wasting time, though he occasionally showed his emotions. In terms of having principles, Silva is similar to Tony, the Italian main character, in Green Book. 

I usually tend to think unnecessary things and as a result I make a simple thing complicated, so I adore their simple behavioral principles. I would like to quit being indecisive and worrying about things. I also want to be like them and become a man who can promptly decide, quickly act and fully concentrate on things that I am facing. Life is short. I have no time to worry. The 94-minute movie made me think about those things.
