Well there it is. Not only is this my 200th Letterboxd review, it is the first Quentin Tarantino movie I’ve seen. For a movie that’s 2 and a half hours long it feels like 1 hour and 45 minutes, tops. You can really get a feel for why people say Quentin is the dialogue master, not only memorable and impactful but it can really crank up the tension in a scene, notably the intro and pretty much the last 20…

Black Bag 2025
When we walked out of the theater my mom compared this to Ocean’s 11, which was ironic considering the director of this film did indeed direct Ocean’s 11-13.

The main characters are almost as laughably forgettable as the side characters (cool to see the guy from Bunk’d though that was my childhood) and they have a serious lack of an emotional core unlike the first movie, it’s like they have as little backstory as possible…

Rewatched with Atkinsonfilms, a lot of little details or little bits of symbolism I didn’t catch on my first watch that I recognized this time, like how there’s a reflection of red light on Andrew’s drums in the last scene, representing the blood, sweat and tears he has poured into this to become as good as he is. There are also details like how he no longer avoids eye contact when he’s the core drummer and how much more assertive…
