On March 2, 2015, it was announced that Ronda Rousey and Iko Uwais were set to star in the action-thriller film Mile 22 scripted by Graham Roland, with Peter Berg attached as producer.
[18] Principal photography on the film was shot in Atlanta, Georgia, in November and December 2017 under the working title Ground Branch Triple.
[20] Location shooting in Colombia overlapped with the 2018 Royal Rumble in Philadelphia, at which Rousey made her surprise debut at as a full-time professional wrestler for WWE; Rousey made the journey to the event under total secrecy whilst using the film's shooting to misdirect fans as to whether she would appear at the event.
[4] In the United States and Canada, Mile 22 was released alongside Alpha, and was projected to gross around $17 million from 3,520 theaters in its opening weekend.
The website's critical consensus reads, "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.
"[8] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 38 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".
There is nothing to think about, no nuances to contemplate, no connection with these characters who exist only in moments of hyper-tension and crisis, no greater truths to consider other than to prevail.
"[30] Brian Lowry of CNN stated, "In fact, Uwais's action sequences—fast paced and electric—are easily the highlight of a movie otherwise characterized by an abundance of automatic-weapons fire and tedious dialogue during the fleeting gaps between those bursts.
