Movie information in first post provided by The Movie Database
I usually enjoy Mark Wahlberg’s films because he nails those serious down-to-earth roles in both action and drama. So, when I watched The Union, I expected more of the same. I was a bit disappointed at first since he mixes serious muscle with comedy here, which wasn’t what I was expecting. But honestly, it works for this film. Still, I think I would’ve preferred him in a more serious role with comedic co-stars.

As for the movie itself, the script isn’t the strongest for a spy comedy, but A-list stars like Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry help. The plot is easy to follow, maybe even too easy, since it’s not hard to guess who the leak in the organization is. I got it wrong when watching, but I should’ve seen it coming.

The Union packs in enough action and stunts to keep you watching and entertained.
