📺 ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Dive into the exciting world of spies and secret agents in The Union. Household names Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg take over our small screens for this Netflix original spy comedy.

The plot kicks off in Trieste, Italy, where a mission to recover a stolen hard drive goes awry, leaving most of the team dead. Enter Roxanne (Berry), who seeks help from her former high school sweetheart, Mike (Wahlberg), now a blue-collar worker in New Jersey. From there we see the pair of old flames reconnect and the story unfolds.

The premise makes for a fun, light watch where it’s “easy to follow who is where [but] much more difficult to care,” the New York Times writes in its review of the film. With its tired mix of spy tropes and predictable comedy, the movie fails to capture your full attention, and its basic action scenes don’t help.

Don’t dismiss the film just yet. The movie is great if you’re in the mood for a comfort watch that checks all the boxes of a typical action-comedy without offering anything new.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch the movie on Netflix or watch the trailer (runtime: 2:53).
