CIA operative James Silva (Mark Wahlberg) leads a small but lethal paramilitary team on an urgent and dangerous mission. They must transport a foreign intelligence asset from an American embassy in Southeast Asia to an airfield for extraction, a distance of 22 miles. Silva and the soldiers soon find themselves in a race against time as the city's military, police and street gangs close in to reclaim the asset.

It marks the fourth collaboration between Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg, following Lone Survivor, Deep Water Horizon and Patriots Day. The film was released in the United States on August 17, 2018.

As you can see above this film received generally unfavorable reviews from critics and users.  It's been called "confusing and a chaotic mess,". After watching it I can understand what they are saying, however I don't agree with the low 20% rating.

I personally have two words for this movie.....BAD ASS!.........This film is a relentless pace paramilitary thriller that is loaded with shoot'em up bang bang with a massive side order of testosterone. It's about the CIA's most highly-prized and least understood unit.

It builds to a crescendo that had a lot of people in the theater shifting side to side in their seats.  You will NOT be bored due to lack of action thats for sure.  This is not for the faint of heart either.  Gun scenes are intense, vivid and none stop.
