Halle Berry’s Netflix movie debuts with fresh Rotten Tomatoes rating
As a seasoned gamer and movie buff with over two decades of experiencing various genres under my belt, I must say that the new Netflix release “The Union” has piqued my interest. The chemistry between Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg, as former high school sweethearts turned spies, is undoubtedly a winning formula for many.
The newly released Netflix film, titled “The Union“, starring Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg, has made its premiere with a brand-new score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Today (August 16), the spy-themed romantic comedy that’s making its debut on Netflix has received a 70% positive rating from critics on an aggregate review site.
Under the guidance of Julian Farino, director of ‘Giri/Haji’, comes the series ‘The Union’. In this production, Berry and Wahlberg portray ex-high school sweethearts reconnecting after 25 years. However, an unexpected twist arises when Wahlberg’s character, Mike McKenna, discovers that Berry’s Roxanne Hall is secretly a spy, upon waking up in London.
According to the plot summary, I find myself catapulted into the thrilling realm of top-secret spies and covert agents as my longtime love, Roxanne, enlists me for an exhilarating undercover operation in the heart of U.S. intelligence.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’d say this action flick had an electrifying vibe between its main characters that kept me hooked. Some folks found it a blast, labeling it as “fun,” while others thought it was more forgettable.
Here’s a look at what some of the critics had to say:
Collider
“The Union, boasting solid acting, thrilling action scenes, and a captivating camaraderie between Wahlberg and Berry, is an entertaining choice worth your time. It sets up the stage neatly for a possible sequel, hinting at more adventures for Mike and Roxanne if they decide to take on the task.”
TheWrap
As a gamer, I’d say, “To be honest, The Union doesn’t offer much beyond its mere existence and the ability to watch it. It’s more like a mindless pastime that, sadly, feels like a missed opportunity for a brilliant concept.”
Leisure Byte
“This film stands out due to the captivating chemistry between its leading actors, some thrilling action scenes, and stunning backdrops typical of Netflix productions. It’s an enjoyable choice for those who appreciate action and adventure movies with a memorable touch.”

In a more casual, yet clear way: “The Union feels like just another typical spy movie, with no unique identity whatsoever. Some parts are even awkwardly arranged, making you question whether the scriptwriters intended for audiences to engage with it.”
Entertainment Weekly
“Dumb-but-agreeable caper.”
The Union will be released on Netflix on August 16. For a list of UK release dates for the rest of 2024, we’ve got you covered.
