  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  A perfectly pleasant and enjoyable thriller, with all its little pieces arranged about and wrapped neatly in a bow, like a delectable little chocolate placed gently on the pillow of my hotel bed.

  All-consuming, despairing, almost perfect from start to finish.
