Ponnistuksia, romantiikkaa ja vaarallisia tehtäviä! Tutustu 'The Union' -elokuvan kiehtovaan maailmaan, jossa on enemmän juonenkäänteitä kuin frisbeen heitossa!

Netflixin uusi toimintaelokuva 'The Union' on saapunut ruutuihin ja saa katsojat rivisijoille – ei niinkään huikean juonensa vuoksi, vaan sen vuoksi, kuinka elokuvan tähdet Rundeja Mark Wahlberg ja Halle Berry puristavat kaikkensa ankeasta käsikirjoituksesta. 'The Union' heittää meidät sisään vauhdikkaaseen maailmaan, jossa Roxanne (Halle Berry) rekrytoi entisen pikkukaupungin rakkaansa Mike'n (Mark Wahlberg) vaaralliselle pelastustehtävälle. Onko tämä huikea kaksikko riittävän täynnä karismaa pelastamaan elokuvan, vai jäävätkö he valkokankaan varjoon?

Elokuvan juoni on kuin vuoristorata, jossa on hieman liikaa käännöksiä ja ei tarpeeksi huippuja. Vaikka Walhbergin ja Berry collaborateurs ovat loistava katsojan viihdyttäjä, heitä estää todella kehno ja matkustava käsikirjoitus. Elokuvan aloitus herättää toiveita jännittävästä seikkailusta, mutta se sortuu yksinkertaisiin kliseisiin, joista jopa elokuvateollisuuden kankaimmat sitaatit tuntuvat olevan ylivoimaisen innovatiivisia. Kaiken kaikkiaan 'The Union' kantaa mukanaan monia valopilkkuja, ja Halle Berry todella loistaa omassa roolissaan.

Vaikka ensialku voi herättää hieman kiusallista tunnetta, elokuvan huikeimmat hetket syntyvät, kun Roxanne ja Mike yhdistävät voimansa huikeissa, huimapäisissä kohtauksissa. Edes se, että elokuvan juoni ontuu kuin sanomalehden luonnos, ei estä katsojia villiintymästä Berry-Micce-duon kohdalla. Joudumme miettimään, voiko yksi hyvä rooli nyt sitten pelastaa koko elokuvan susihuonolta arvostelulta.

Kun pääsemme elokuvan loppuun, herää tunne, että vaikkakin 'The Union' ei nouse elokuvahistorian huipulle, se on silti onnistunut viihdyttämään katsojia ja saamaan yhteen kaksi megatähteä. Lisäksi, tällaisia elokuvia katsoessa mietimme aina, kuinka monta kaveria tulisimme pelikaveriksemme vaarallisiin tehtäviin. Onko Mark Wahlberg meidän takanamme? Toinen kiinnostava tieto: Halle Berry on yksi harvoista naisista, jotka ovat voittaneet Oscar-palkinnon, mutta silti ovat valikoineet toimintaleffoja, mikä lisää kunnioitusta hänen lahjakkuudelleen ja rohkeudelleen. Miltäköhän tuntuisi tehdä elokuvaa suoraan tällä tuliselta lattialta?
