  ★★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  Man, Steven Soderbergh is one of a kind, isn't he? Less than 2 months ago he surprised us with his experimental take on the haunted house ghost story in "Presence" and he's already back in the multiplexes with a completely different film - a stylish-as-fxxk spy thriller!
