    Black Bag

    ★★★★

    trying desperately not to do a they don’t make em like this anymore thing. but damn this was good. a great, economical script. and properly lit which is a lot to ask of a movie nowadays.
    slick and sexy. understands the spy genre is 90 percent foreplay. engaging from start to finish. Fassbinder/Blanchett always deliver. wife guy cinema.

    getting started on my rewatch of these. The 90s blockbuster at its finest. This franchise has become Cruise’s (and McQuarrie) baby. But this is a De Palma joint through and through. an outstanding piece of craft. diopter, split. wig, snatched.

    Classic case of they don’t make em like this anymore. Wilder had generational pen game. Neff and Dietrichson’s first meeting is a masterclass. Bitches have tried and failed to be Barbara Stanwyck character in this for 80 years since. 
    Killing a man for a woman. Doing it for love and $50,000, but more importantly the thrill of the cat n mouse game with your cranky work husband.

    Amazing to see in theaters. I was blown away by how visually stunning this was on the big screen. Shots popped more even than I remember and the sound design brings the Nostromo’s chilly ambiance to life.
