Whereas tens of millions of Netflix subscribers are tuning in for The Union, the motion comedy didn’t fare nicely with JoBlo’s Alex Maidy, who feels the film is “ultimately a waste of talent for a promising concept.” Alex says Berry and Wahlberg want extra chemistry, and Wahlberg feels miscast. “The Union feels forced and never turns into the thrill ride it should have been. While the final half-hour is pretty fun, it cannot salvage the weak movie that preceded it,” Alex wrote. Nevertheless, it’s not all unhealthy. Alex praises Halle Berry, saying she’s an “entrancing screen presense,” and the movie ought to have been a franchise starter for her alone. Why not try The Union on Netflix and decide for your self?
