Black Bag Reviews

Apr 25, 2025

A carefully crafted spy thriller that explores the complexities of trust and deception. Soderbergh makes the tension in the air so thick you can cut it with a knife.

Great cast and great performances. Pay attention because the plot keeps you guessing all the way through. Some dry humour for a few giggles along the way. The on screen relations of Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender are wonderful.

Black Bag is a slick, stylish spy thriller that expertly blends tension, deception, and espionage. With sharp pacing and stunning visuals, the film keeps you hooked from start to finish. Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett deliver strong performances in this morally complex narrative. While the plot can be overwhelming at times, the film’s exploration of trust, betrayal, and tough choices adds depth to the intrigue. A well-crafted, gripping watch that stays with you long after the credits roll.

Great film, very spellbinding, kept you on the edge of your seat the whole film. I had no idea which way it was going until the very end. Exceptional cast and story.

What a waste of the rental fee! Not one likable character, absolutely no recognizable through-line on the plot. Wtf is the Black Bag? Unable to discern a single thing to invest in as a viewer. Wholly unbelievable, unremarkable.

So I paid 25 bucks on Prime to watch what I thought was a spy movie. Instead what I got was a bunch of people having dinner or going to meetings to figure out who of their small group was a traitor. The trailers mad you suspect Cate Blanchett was the traitor. Not for a second did I believe that. There was no action save for the end where the young up and coming spy turned out tot be the traitor gets shot. What boring POS!!

Un faux suspense pour un vrai ennui. The Insider (Black Bag) avait tout pour séduire : un casting solide, une esthétique léchée et la promesse d’un thriller d’espionnage moderne. Mais très vite, le vernis craque. Cate Blanchett et Michael Fassbender livrent des prestations étonnamment tièdes, sans jamais vraiment habiter leurs personnages. Le scénario, bancal et inutilement alambiqué, déroule une intrigue cousue de fil blanc, où chaque retournement est télégraphié bien à l’avance. Les personnages ? Des archétypes épais comme un roman de gare : l’agent usé par le système, la recrue trop brillante pour être vraie, le traître évident dès la première réplique. Si quelques scènes parviennent à capter l’attention, l’ensemble manque cruellement de substance et de tension. En résumé : beaucoup de style, très peu d’âme.

Exposition of actual and/or Metaphor of frequent recurring goals & motives of government and corporation. Acute vision, planning & execution, awesome & egrigous dictation, compartmentalization of characters personafication. Symbolizing the secrecy and behind the doors going-ons of executives decision. These depiction is NOT fiction. True to form of all its realization. Get ready to get ur head spinnin'.

Sleek and stylish as they come. Finally a spy thriller that never insults the intelligence of its audience.

Just could not get into this, no matter how hard I tried. So after 2 attempts, I made sure 3 times a lucky charm, but charm it was not and lucky I would’ve been if id just let it at the 2 attempts and left it there. So I watched it from beginning to end and was utterly disappointed, I like Fassbender and Blanchett (under utilised) and Soderbergh and thought when is the reveal comin or the twist or the something to keep me from going wtf is this snooze fest i am watching to oh that’s great, I’m glad I sat thru this tripe……….but it never came. Quite boring and wasted opportunity with a ok cast that just never hits the highs as described or presented !!!!!! A below average spy thriller, don’t waste ur time, the characters and story is boring with the reveal or should I say the omg is that the moment I was waiting for is such a let down it brings the whole movie down a star or 2. Cos it’s a scratch ur head moment of ughhh is that it. Crapolla from this reviewer !!!

Written by AI with a script that stretches the limited range of the luvvies involved. The stereotypical 2 dimensional wooden middle class spies would give Pinocchio a run for for his money.

Undoubtably the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Could not understand a word of it because of the heavy British accents and the low lighting where you can’t really even see their lips. I was confused from the time I walked into the time I left. They Needed close caption at the bottom Of the screento understand what they were saying maybe then I would’ve got the drift to the movie. Although I doubt it, it was so convoluted It was two hours of wasted money And boredom.

As the "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" for the computer generation this intellectual spy flick depends on acting, plot, and character development. How refreshing! Stay home if you want explosions and special effects.

A suspenseful retro spy movie with a great cast. Low on action, high on intrigue.

Apr 20, 2025

I am so disappointed in this movie. Since it’s got such great reviews, I went ahead and bought it instead of renting it. I continue to be disappointed in Michael Fassbender. I do not know why he gets all of the accolades that he does. I find him boring. Typical spy movie: nothing to get excited about!!
