If it works once, twice, three, four times...keep going!

That's not a bad strategy for success-especially in Hollywood. "Mile 22" is the fourth collaboration between director Peter Berg and actor Mark Wahlberg. Their other films include "Patriots Day," "Deepwater Horizon," & "Lone Survivor."

In other words, "Pretty, pretty, pretty good."

Joining Wahlberg are the likes of John Malkovich (Deepwater Horizon, Being John Malkovich), as well as Lauren Cohan (The Walking Dead, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), and Ronda Rousey (Furious 7, The Expendables).

Wahlberg stars as James Silva, an operative of the CIA’s most highly-prized and least-understood unit. Aided by a top-secret tactical command team, Silva must retrieve and transport an asset who holds life-threatening information to Mile 22 for extraction before the enemy closes in.

If you like action (and I do), this looks like your kind of movie.

"Mile 22" arrives in theaters on August 3.
