Black Bag 2025
Steven Soderbergh’s best, most assured, accessible, and entertaining motion picture since 2011’s CONTAGION. A sleek, taut, and sexy espionage thriller that just so happens to also be the most badass, romantic motion picture I’ve seen in I don’t know when.

Haynes, with this one, proves that he is a master storyteller.
An important movie, people. Especially during these times.
Highest recommendation.

By that point, Mike Flanagan had done so much masterful work leading up to the third act, that any little nitpicks can be forgiven.
And that is especially true of this director’s cut. A film that already really works,…
