Movies that feel likeMile 22 (2018)

An elite group of American operatives, aided by a top-secret tactical command team, must transport an asset who holds life-threatening information to an extraction point 22 miles away through the hostile streets of an Asian city.

If you loved Mile 22, the closest films we have are Haywire (2011), No Escape (2015) and Twisters (2024). All three share Mile 22's kinetic and tense feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Furie (2019).
