The Union" defies logic to such an extent that no amount of suspension of disbelief could ever justify it. Go to Full Review
Ben Kenigsberg New York Times 08/19/2024
The “Mission: Impossible” series went missing in action this summer, but that’s no reason to settle for Netflix’s “The Union,” a depressing illustration of the wisdom that sometimes you shouldn’t buy — or stream — generic. Go to Full Review

Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry can't save this horrendous action comedy. Go to Full Review
Barry Levitt The Daily Beast Jun 5
If the co-stars had fun filming, you’d barely know it based on the end result. It’s a lifeless, visually uninteresting, convoluted experience that combines the thrills of waiting in a dentist's office with the mystery of waiting at the DMV. Go to Full Review

Kim P 5d Any movie where Simmons, Haley and Colter are "just okay" is bound to disappoint. And it surely does. This film is further proof that Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg are incapable of delivering a good performance without a great script and talented director. This had neither. And the lead actors are not able (or willing?) to transcend the material. The only thing less than disappointing was the stunt work. AVOID See more Farley D. @FarleyBDancin 5d I wanted to go to bed, but it just kept going and going and going. at some point toward what I think might have been an actual ending, I gave in and got up to start my nocturnal preparations, and my husband asked, do you want me to pause it? I couldn’t say no fast enough. I am normally a OG Marky Mark fan, but even I could not tolerate what felt like 6 plus hours of whatever this was. See more Bober P @Tadeas 6d This shit was like kids were producers and produced random shit. I hope this shit will be erased and put to fucking trash. See more @Someguy_out_there Dec 6 It's like ChatGPT, an unfunny 14 year old boy and a cringe 14 year old girl wrote an action "movie" together See more Asavari G Nov 26 The movie is entirely predictable and unbelievable but most action thrillers are nowadays anyways. It is easy to watch - without making a whole show of it. Something really wholesome about characters being unique individuals outside of their gender/skin color and to see that in a Netflix movie with a strong cast is impressive. A part 2 should surely do the premise more justice! P.S. I have seen action stunts that look far far more improbable in the mission impossible series- at least everyone engaging in action sequences here looked fit enough to carry them out!
