Critics Consensus

Sleek in design and spiked with dry wit, Black Bag is an exemplary espionage caper that lets movie stars like Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender do what they do best -- light up the screen.

Audience Says

Blanchett and Fassbender excellently set up a play of intrigue in Black Bag, a solid Soderbergh entry that if challenging to follow at times, is mostly a satisfying match.

A smartly drawn spy tale. As sophisticated as a dry martini.

This movie is Smooth Soderbergh. It’s brisk, engaging, humorous, well-directed, written and acted. You can put your brain in low gear and sit back and be entertained.

Rated: 3.5/5

Chicago Reader

Soderbergh handles ensemble casts well, forming a constellation rather than centering any single person as a lodestar.

More seductive than smart, “Black Bag” is a classy diversion about how every relationship finds a certain rhythm, and the bizarre ability for a word like “traitor” to apply in wildly different contexts.

Rated: B

El Pais (Spain)

With its artificial aura, Soderbergh pulls off a fast-paced and playful film...though set against a geopolitical backdrop that feels fairly generic.[Full review in Spanish]

The story was hard to follow at times and some of the dialogue was exposition-heavy, but damn if this movie wasn't interesting. Each of the characters had a unique and distinct personality. I particularly enjoyed the dynamic between Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender. It had many thrilling moments/revelations that more than made up for some of the uninteresting dialogue. The music by David Holmes was great too.
