  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★½ Watched 18 Mar 2025

  Gorgeous and sumptuous, this uber-stylish spy thriller was an utter marvel to watch unfurl. Visually and musically, this film was a delight to drink up in the cinema. The plot, script, and acting all add to help make this a truly remarkable and unique film.
  Perfectly pithy, this is a film that will definitely end up in my top10 of the year.

  Everybody really liked it. I was shocked at how my opinion has changed of it. Now one of my favourite horrors, hands down.

  (I listed the timing as 2hr40mins for a cut of the film 40mins too long than what I had. I didn't realise the mistake and had a few apologies as a result.)

  MVP: Nicholson and Kubrick, why only one film together??...
