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.

Rated: 1/4

New York Times

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.

With action, ritzy locations, charismatic leads, and smart one-liners, ‘The Union’ is the very definition of time pass

“The Union” boasts a smattering of fine shootouts and car chases through the streets of London, but the rest is generic MacGuffin spy mash with a lazy ladling of rom-com.

Rated: 2/4

Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry have both been in better things than The Union. A London based action thriller, that proves to be neither action-packed, nor particularly thrilling. This is polished and packaged Netflix dross at its most mundane.

It’s like trying to make a sequel into one movie, one minute he’s a nobody and the other he’s a trained spy, that movie was rushed, maybe enjoyable for toddlers, and the way we can tell main characters force themselves to show « attraction » to eachother, we’re far from mission impossible, more like mission dont make a second one please

Say what you want, The Union is a very enjoyable, funny B-movie. Wahlberg and Berry definitely have chemistry, there is no over-dramatization, nor serious political statements, it's a movie like them famous 89 min. Kris Kristofferson movies back in the 90's. Nothing remarkable, still very loveable.

This movie is boring, predictable and cliche. There is no chemistry between Marky Mark and Halle Berry, honestly painful to watch. Don’t waste your time. Would not recommend.

Very enjoyable, funny and action packed. I was actually wondering why it did not make theaters first. Well worth the time Wahlberg and Berry had chemistry and the story was pretty cool. I recommend if you are looking for romantic comedy acton adventure.
