Netflix is known for producing high-quality thrillers, many of which have been led by some of the most respected actors in the industry. “The Union” is no exception, as it stars Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry.
The buddy comedy film has been directed by Julian Farino and was added to the platform just two days ago, so it has been performing exceptionally well, already becoming the most-watched title worldwide.
Joe Barton and David Guggenheim are the creators of the project’s story, which blends comedy, action, some elements of romance and, of course, two complex yet eloquent main characters: Mike McKenna y Roxanne Hall.
The Union ranked No. 1 movie on Netflix worldwide
A spy comedy with incredible chemistry between its characters? Of course, it was going to be a hit. This is what happened with The Union, which has just become the most-watched movie worldwide, dethroning Kingsman: The Secret Service.
The metrics site Flix Patrol reported that the new Netflix original thriller has won the audience’s heart with its main characters and the outstanding performances by Mark Wahlberg (Uncharted) and Halle Berry (X-Men).
The story follows Mike, a construction worker from Jersey, who quickly gets drawn into the world of super spies and secret agents when his high school ex-girlfriend, Roxanne, recruits him for a high-stakes intelligence mission.
J.K. Simmons, Jackie Earle Haley, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica De Gouw, Alice Lee, Patch Darragh, Alex Brightman, Lorraine Bracco and Andrei Lenart are just some of the actors who have been involved.
Without a doubt, it’s an ideal title to enjoy over the weekend and share with the family. Craziness, humor and a great number of action scenes characterize this chaotic story that brings together multiple talented stars.
