‘The Union’ Review: Mark Wahlberg & Halle Berry Give Spy Romp Chemistry, Style And A Really Great Car Chase


A review of 'The Union' which pairs Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry in a colorful globe hopping action spy comedy with a terrific supporting cast

Nothing wrong with that, although if this were made by Lionsgate where both stars have a history it would be a major late summer theatrical, rather that being tossed into the streaming pool where nevertheless it should find a global audience ready to buy into a premise as old as The Dirty Dozen and The A Team and one that also just seems like the perfect tv series pilot if it were not for the glittering filmography of the principals involved. With a breezy screenplay from Joe Barton and David Guggenheim that emphasizes the rapport and chemistry between its two leads, The Union actually succeeds in ways the more bloated Fall Guy failed earlier this summer. Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Halle Berry, Mike Colter, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica De Gouw, Alice Lee, Jackie Earle Haley, J. K. Simmons, Lorraine Bracco, Dana Delany
