I walked into this having watched about 30 seconds of the trailer. It seemed like a movie I could fuck with so I decided to go in blind. Black Bag was completely different than what I expected, for better or worse.
I expected a Mr & Mrs Smith Spy thriller. And to a certain degree that is woven into this movie. Point blank, this movie is sexy and 100% has the sauce. Care Blanchett & Michael Fassbender steal the show as married…
I decided to revisit this for the 30 year anniversary and it continues to be a movie I love more on every rewatch.
I don’t think it can be overstated how much this particular movie has influenced others that came after it. Truth be told, Se7en is absolute atmospheric vibe that everyone needs to watch at least once in their lives. That vibe can be felt in so many movies. Longlegs & The Batman are just 2 of the more recent…
This is going to be one of those films that I will think about for days. It’s definitely an experience more than anything. The sense of pure dread permeates throughout the entire run time. Speaking of which, it’s borderline too long but the tension keeps you on the edge of your seat. Especially considering you never know what’s going to happen next. Although, cutting about 15-20 mins of this would have been beneficial.
The characters are great. You really fall…
