  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  That 90 minutes just flew by. What a tight well written script with brilliant actors playing so well off each other and it’s a joy to watch play out. I found the soft lighting in the cinematography a little irritating after a while to the point where I thought there was something wrong with my eyes but other than that it’s slick, efficient and satisfying storytelling.

  Also great to see Brosnan in something good again.

  Casino Royale 2006

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 20 Sep 2023

  Always great to see this film on the big screen. It never loses its magic.

  Casino Royale is like a fully satisfying 3 course meal giving us three films in one, with its perfectly balanced 3 act structure. Act 1 delivers breathtaking adrenaline-filled action, act 2 is a suspenseful spy thriller and act 3 is a heartbreaking romantic tragedy. 

  Everything you could want in a film.
