Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg as Roxanne and Mike, standing outside with trees behind them, looking off into the distance in Netflix's The Union
The Big Picture Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry are two A-listers who, like most big stars, have had their share of great career highs and, well, some pretty low lows. Thus, a spy-comedy-action-thriller starring Wahlberg and Berry had great hit-or-miss potential. Yet, Julian Farino’s The Union is a fun, action-packed thriller that’ll leave fans of the genre satisfied, and casual Netflix perusers pleasantly surprised.
'The Union' Has Great Action Sequences, but Falls Into Action Movie Clichés Close If you approach The Union solely for its action movie magic, you won’t be disappointed. This movie is complete with car chases, fight scenes, and an obligatory but enjoyable training montage. Do wine bottles smash and magically have no liquid in them? Sure. Is Halle Berry unnecessarily wearing heeled boots while she kicks ass? Of course she is.
1 Writers Joe Barton and David Guggenheim get some jokes in without the movie veering into slapstick territory, not relying on cringe-inducing gags for easy laughs. For example, one scene finds Wahlberg's character accidentally bursting into a community theatre production of Peter Pan, but refrains from having him join in the production to camouflage himself, or using a young thespian as a human shield.
Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry Have Electric Chemistry in 'The Union' While The Union works independently as an action-packed spy movie, it's made all the better through the undeniable chemistry of the two leads. Wahlberg and Berry feel effortless, joking like old friends one moment and looking into each other's eyes with smoldering intensity the next.
