  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Steven Soderbergh delivers an incredibly precise and satisfying spy thriller with his latest film Black Bag. Jam packed with heavy hitters in the tension-building espionage genre like Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, and Pierce Brosnan, this film delivers cold and calculated film about deception and triple crossing your allies with both personal and global stakes at large. I’ve been a huge fan of Soderbergh for years (The Oceans series, Logan Lucky) and am pleased with the execution of this latest entry.…

Maybe I’m being too harsh on this and might enjoy it on a second watch once I get past the Heat comparison, but that’s a big if.

  Watching this film for the first time and then immediately rewatching it with the director commentary is an absolutely devastating experience. There was so much about the beginning that I didn’t get that immediately clicked the second time around. I’m terrified by the realization that I’m slowly understanding my parents more as people as I get older but will never truly know them or their struggles and this movie is to thank for that. Maybe one day we’ll see Paul Mescal happy in a movie…
