Netflix's 'The Union' Is The Second Chance Spy Romance I Didn't Know I Needed

Mr. & Mrs. Smith and My Lady Jane have really proven the fact that the coolest couples can have insane romantic chemistry and kick butt at the same time. And Netflix's brand new movie The Union sends '90s royalty Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg on a wild European adventure, with plenty of action and romance to spare. I can already tell this is one summer movie I'll want to rewatch more than once! If you love spy movies as much as I do, here's everything you need to know about The Union before it hits Netflix next month.


What is The Union about?

Mark Wahlberg stars as New Jersey construction worker Mike, who's shocked when his high school sweetheart Roxanne (Halle Berry) turns up after 25 years. However, nothing is more shocking than realizing Roxanne is here to recruit him for a covert spy operation. The duo heads off to London to find a list of top-secret identities — and maybe rekindle their romance in the process. This is definitely one of my most-anticipated summer movies!
