Last, but not least, we have some suggested reading for you to partake in, should you be hungry for more Mile 22 insight before you leave. First, we have the thoughts of the CinemaBlend staff as to whether or not they liked the film, and there's some pretty nifty insight in there. Also, during our own Conner Schwerdtfeger's sit-down with the folks behind Mile 22, he got some insight as to why Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg decided to make a film with an original story, rather than continue down the path of real life dramatics. Plus, Wahlberg spilled some rounds on just why the film had to be a hard R-rated gauntlet of violence. And finally, if you're a die-hard fan of the movie you just saw, don't lose any sleep over the ending's cliffhanger nature, as you can read about the good news that the sequel is already being developed.
With that, it's time to close up shop for the Rate and Discuss feature on Mile 22!

While we don't make these sorts of things a habit, we're preparing to discuss the terror that is The Nun on that very day; which means it's time to start dousing the site in holy water and circling every article with salt. Until then, readers.
