  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  I feel like Soderbergh can crank these riveting low-mid bidget thrillers out in his sleep.

  Was lucky enough to see this early!

  Scorsese’s latest is a tried and true true-crime telling of specific murders of Osage people by shadowy individuals looking to line their pockets. 

  I was surprised that this was a much more intimate film than I had expected. This isn’t the sprawling world that we saw in Goodfellas or The Irishman, but it’s rather focused much like The King of Comedy. I think with the runtime being at a staggering 3.5 hours, I…
