Simmons join Wahlberg and Berry in the film. HBO Entourage's Julian Farino directs, with The Union based on a screenplay by Joe Barton and David Guggenheim.
A third savagely commented: "Movies should make us feel something, so full marks to The Union on Netflix for generating so much boredom and depression" as a fourth expressed: "#TheUnion is exhausting.

Ben Kenigsberg from the New York Times described it as 'a depressing illustration of the wisdom that sometimes you shouldn’t buy — or stream — generic' while the Observer's Rex Reed slammed: "This contrived, pointless, blindingly boring vehicle is a pathetic, desperate attempt to keep Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg’s careers alive.
