Black Bag 2025
I had only seen the Black Bag trailer twice before watching the film, and all I knew going in was that it was supposed to be a spy thriller in the vein of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Bridge of Spies.

This courtroom drama is an excellent blend of mystery and intrigue, culminating in a satisfying climax driven by emotion, heart, and family drama. Just like Justine Triet's previous works, it's filmed and edited in a raw manner, lending the story and characters a sense of realistic grit.
However, to approach this film expecting a conventional whodunit mystery with a clear-cut conclusion would be a mistake. I'm glad it deviates from that trope, as there are plenty of other good crime…
