The Union is a covert operations group working for American government. One of their mission goes wrong and all agents involved in mission in the field die, save Halle. The opposition gets hold of the hard drive that contains details and names of all covert missions of America and the identity of all its agents and assets. Now Union has to retrieve the case containing the hard drive but can't use any of their agents. Halle recruits the childhood sweetheart Mark.

Will Mark accept mission? Is he cut out for the spy stuff? What can he do? Will the case be retrieved? How will the movie end?

Well you don't ask trivial questions like how come Mark become expert spy in one week? How can his aim be better than an Olympic medalists? How can he do what no one else can do? etc.

It's an action flick with a little bit of story. With Mark being untrained spy, it's a little bit different. But the story has a good flow. Audience remain with the story.

There is a hint of a sequel at the end of this movie, so the Union franchise may continue.

Positives: Doesn't bore.

Negatives: Not credible.

One time watch.
