The Union

A lot of action, a little plot, just how we like it. During a chase scene a bit in, I realized there was some plot about information or a device, or whatever was in a briefcase being something a lot of heavily armed people with no interest in collateral damage want. But that’s just the substrate on which they put another film with a secret agent who pairs with a regular person who ends up having The Right Stuff to quickly become an action star. Yes, it’s been done time and time again, so it’s a tonge in cheek madlib, but Berry and Wahlberg worked well together and made it an entertaining boom fest. Someone will have to do a body count though, ‘cause had John Wick level of shooting the “bad” guys.
