Black Bag

2025 (15):   1 hr 33 min
Written by David Koepp; directed by Steven Soderbergh; starring Michael Fassbender, Gustaf Skarsgard and Cate Blanchett.

When intelligence agent Kathryn Woodhouse is suspected of betraying the nation, her husband – also a legendary agent – faces the ultimate test of whether to be loyal to his marriage, or his country.

Two Award Wins and 15 other Nominations.

This taut spy thriller from Stephen Soderbergh doesn’t exactly reinvent the wheel of the spy fiction genre, but it’s deftly and thoroughly well-made and well-acted. Viewers should know that this is not a drama/thriller with high-action scenes and lavish locations, so it is definitely not like a James Bond or Mission Impossible-style spy movie. However, for more patient and sophisticated viewers who enjoy a lot of cleverness with their mystery and intrigue, “Black Bag” will prove to be an entertaining watch.

The film feels stylish and polished despite its small scale and brief running time. Soderbergh’s deft direction keeps things running quickly and efficiently, paying special attention to the psychological and intuitive motives of the characters. The plot developments aren’t particularly unique compared to other spy films, but its commitment to creating intriguing narrative tension in an entertaining way on a modest scale is commendable.
