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.

It's a very brisk 90 minutes, which is always very welcome.

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

The Australian

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

Jeff Beck

The Blu Spot

Black Bag features slick direction, impressive costume & production design, and a remarkably talented ensemble, but unfortunately it's held back just a little too much by David Koepp's slow-burning screenplay.

Rated: 3/5

Elements of Madness

... eschewing action sequences and gadgets for mind games, the success and failure of the film comes down to the performances and there are several remarkable ones, each one pulling the audience deeper into the intrigue until the only way out is through.

Rated: 4.5/5

Always Good Movies

Micro-aggressions, overt confrontations, cynical exchanges, and provocative mind games abound, all delivered with the right mix of irresistible glamour and disdainful coldness.

Rated: 3.5/5

I liked it. It was a tightly wrapped film. There was a lot of dialogue but some reason I did not mind it and actually liked it.

The writing was solid and kept you guessing. This is also the most recent film that I recall where I cared about each of the main characters and liked their dynamics with each other especially when tension was being built up. Definitely a movie worth watching.
