Netflix has unveiled “The Union”, an action film starring Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg. Directed by Julian Farino and written by Joe Barton and David Guggenheim, the movie promises thrilling dynamics and high-stakes drama.
Check out the official synopsis:
Mike (Wahlberg) is happy living a simple life as a construction worker in his native New Jersey –– until his long-lost high school sweetheart, Roxanne (Berry), shows up with more on her mind than romance. Knowing he’s the right man for the job, she recruits Mike on a dangerous intelligence mission in Europe that thrusts them back together into a world of spies and high-speed car chases, with sparks flying along the way.
Mark Wahlberg shared insight about his character’s deep connection to Berry’s character, Roxanne, in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum. “We always felt Roxanne had to be the love of this guy’s life; he stayed where he was because he was hoping that she would actually come back into his life somehow,” Wahlberg explained. “They had a sort of forbidden high school relationship, and he’d do anything to make her smile and anything to make her happy and to never let her out of his sight again. That’s his entire motivation –– her smile.”
Roxanne’s character, however, has a different driving force. As Berry described, “She’s a member of The Union, a top secret and slightly unorthodox government agency. The Union does the dirty work for the CIA and FBI. When you really need the job done, you call in this group of people. They’re blue-collar workers, everyday average people who get plucked by The Union to be trained to shoot and do combat intelligence and tactical weaponry.”
“The Union” also features a strong supporting cast, including Mike Colter, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jessica De Gouw, Alice Lee, Jackie Earle Haley, and J.K. Simmons. Mark Wahlberg, Stephen Levinson, and Jeff Waxman serve as producers, with Jennifer Madeloff as the executive producer.
