Black Bag Reviews

10/10 A typical and cool espionage film from Steven Soderbergh, this has that “Ocean’s” feel. A great cast who all light up the screen. Performance are executed with precision and delivered with style. Will be in my re-watch list. A must watch for those Spy fan’s out there.

A refreshing new take on the spy thriller genre.

This film certainly feels more realistic and accurate than most other espionage films. Not to say that I don’t love the amazing action in the Bond films, but this was just a nice change.

Michael and Cate were both terrific.

Black Bag turned Bin Bag. Sonderberg is the definition of hit and miss, and nearly all his films follow that recipe. I love the casting and dialogue, both hit entertainment with such sharp style. Although the characters are mostly boring, I guess spies realistically would be, but I found myself distracted throughout the majority of the runtime. The story feels a little lost too. I'm not sure if it's just bland and underwhelming or complicated and confusing. I enjoyed the 'imposter' trope, though. All in all, it's decent but ultimately forgettable. I doubt I'll be thinking of this in a weeks time.

The movie was complex. I tried hard to pay attention but kept yawning. It got confusing to me at one point. Idk I’ll try to rewatch once it hits on streaming services to see if my mind changes but had some notable actors. 5/10

Nice Fassbender movie, interesting dialogue throughout🔥

Excellent film. Lots of good performances. All the execution you expect of Soderbergh but significantly more accessible than a lot of his stuff. Well made spy show without the big budget or set pieces that most require. Also bonus points for a tight 90 minutes.

The main characters' dynamic was incredibly interesting and intense. The main plot/mystery wasn't as intricate as they were trying to make you believe, but overall it was a solid 8/10 for me.

Great tight Spy Thriller. Uses its time very economically and has great performances all around.

Exceptional performances from a very decent cast.

A great cast. A smart, taut story. Pure cinema. Soderbergh proves—again—why he’s in a league of his own.

i love the trama with michael fassbender and cate blanchett chemistry, but besides that… it gets boring until the end. Just average 7/10

7.2/10; this was a good movie, fun to watch and follow along, good story. I rec.

What even happened in this movie 😩 There were so many code and project names being used I lost track and interest by the end of it

Not my kind of film. It felt like a play for some reason, just didn’t understand it. It’s a hit and miss film some people will enjoy it some people won’t.
I mean cast was pretty good. It was made pretty well but I just didn’t really like the plot.
4/10 for me

what a joy to watch in theaters! well done spy thrillers are timeless

so sleek, sophisticated, sexy, and full of star power - soderbergh is a legend for a reason

It was good movie

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

loved it

It’s not bad. Thankfully it’s short. No action. Looooooots of just talking. Not exactly what you would think with a spy like film. It is good. Just know what you’re getting into. Good cast.

I swear they made Care Blanchett's character just like Bridget Regan's character from The Rookie. same clothes, same way of wearing her leather jacket, same hairstyle, same mannerisms. I actually would have loved that, lol.
