Critics Consensus

While its imprint may dissolve soon after the credits roll, The Union could provide sufficient thrills to household duties.

A "fold your laundry" movie if I've ever seen one.

The Union" defies logic to such an extent that no amount of suspension of disbelief could ever justify it.

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.

...familiar yet workable subject matter that’s employed to persistently (and pervasively) generic effect...

Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry can't save this horrendous action comedy.

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.

Great actors. Done before plot. Okay movie. Better than The Family Plan 2(Apple TV) movie! That's right, I said it, I said it!

This is a no brainer action movie that is really easy to watch. Enough fight scenes to keep you entertained.

The Union (2024) It's not perfect, it's not good, it's not innovative at all, and it's a terrible action movie, but... I found it fun to watch this cheesy thing that Netflix released.
