It forgoes current movies’ obsession with plot twists for a good old-fashioned mystery (and it has gorgeous looks to spare).
Steven Soderbergh’s Black Bag has almost everything you’d expect from a spy movie: explosions, betrayal, sexual tension, and beautiful actors. The plot, too, which involves a software program that could trigger nuclear war, is nothing new. But what makes Black Bag an enjoyable treat is less content and more delivery. Black Bag is swift and sexy, from the music to the movements. It doesn’t waste a single second and moves through the mystery before you can guess who the mole is terrorizing world safety and, more important to George and Kathryn, their sacred marriage. Though Fassbender and Blanchett are predictably breathtaking, the supporting cast, which includes Bridgerton’s Regé-Jean Page and Industry’s Marisa Abela are equally compelling.
