The Insider Notations et commentaires
- rg94002 avril 2025Black Bag is another Soderbergh/Koepp production that aims to be as lean as possible. Where their last two collaborations have felt slightly gimmicky, Black Bag is a no-frills techno-thriller, examining the marriage between two spies. That said, it does still feel unlike any other spy movie that I can recall, where almost the entirety of the battle of wits takes place through dialogue. Its rapid pace with tons of technobabble, laden with intention that if you blink, you might feel like you've missed a crucial part of the puzzle. At times, this makes it hard for the viewer to get their feet under them, especially in the first half where you're just thrown into the world, trying to quickly grasp what the conspiracy is, who the various 6 players are, what their interpersonal relationships entail, and even what their jobs technically are. However, halfway through, as the lines start getting filled out, it becomes easier to immerse yourself in the suspense as tensions ratchet up. The plot is a very tightly wound clockwork machine, but the rapidfire dialogue and pacing will lose some viewers. This isn't an action-laden spy movie a la Mission Impossible or any of the other movies that played during the previews, but it still has some of the sleek stylistic flourishes. Having just recently watched Presence, it's really impressive how drastically different this movie looks and feels. Beyond the style, it does offer up an interesting examination of a marriage, but it does feel mostly like a movie driven by its clever plotting. I found this pretty entertaining once I felt like I understood what was going on, but I could tell a lot of my audience wasn't as engaged. I've made a comment that Soderbergh's recent output has felt a bit inconsequential. I am not sure if this will change people's minds about that, but it does feel like he's trying to do something more substantial here. Regardless, he remains a maestro of these extremely efficient 90 minute movies, and I am so glad that he's able to showcase how much can be achieved with less.
- Tiago Nazareth10 avril 2025I found this very hard to get into. I wouldn’t say the movie is bad, but ultimately rather boring, filled with senseless dialogues throughout. Really dull and lifeless, and slow moving. Not your typical spy movie so if you’re looking for some action you won’t be finding it here as it’s mainly talk, and tons of it. The film seemed more concerned with showcasing its own perceived sophistication rather than crafting any meaningful connection with the people watching it. As hard as I tried it never managed to grasp my attention in any significant way. The cinematography is solid and visually refined. Well-acted, but overall a missed opportunity that simply doesn’t capitalize on its potential. Perhaps I had high expectations. It was a miss for me
- Dad26 avril 2025Very British. Multiple stories
- Ankesh Srivastava-4 jPretty good
- Coouge9 mars 2026Acting too smart for its own good but felt flat and boring.
- RipLinesMan8 avril 2025Black Bag isn’t Event Horizon (1997), but with Michael Fassbender spiraling beside a briefcase that hums like it remembers ancient sins, it channels that same slow-burn descent into madness. There’s no jump to hyperspace here—just a steady leak of hell, cool and quiet, until it fills the room.
- makdelart3 mars 2026I realise that the work of spies rarely looks like a James Bond adventure, but one brain on the wall in a 90-minute film is a bit too little
- gosso8515 février 2026This is a good one, it will make you put the phone down and ingest the great script!
- orangeco416 février 2026The new Sponge Bob movie has a better plot
- Sigitas!24 janvier 2026An attempt was made to make a very twisted film, but it was a little over-pressed
- Ty Leet20 avril 2025A fun, well-written take on the classic whodunit. And yes I will watch every piece of content with Michael Fassbender as a spy.
- Foster Lynch2 janvier 2026Cute movie. Nice twist!
- Omer Naor13 décembre 2025Ok movie, glad it did not past the 1h30 mark. Weird pacing and pretty predictable twist. But fun overall. Btw Too many lamps.
- jeremy89376 décembre 2025Thoroughly enjoyed - fassbender brilliant as always
- Nathan Magreta5 décembre 2025A movie with a massive cast, great acting, (specifically Blanchett and Fassbender), interesting premise, and several small separate stories on each character that all end in one big conclusion.
