I WATCHED THIS FILM FOR MY 2025 MOVIE CHALLENGE
WEEK 42: A FILM WITH MICHAEL FASSBENDER
Review: We follow secret agent George Woodhouse, who must find out which of his
fellow spies has betrayed the country. His wife Kathryn is at the top of the
list of suspects.
“Black Bag” is spy thriller
by Steven Soderbergh. It’s a clever and intimate thriller with a mix of suspense
and psychological drama.
The cast is strong, Cate
Blanchett and Michael Fassbender are great as ever and have excellent
chemistry. The style and atmosphere is elegant, stylish and mysterious. But
that’s where the positivity ends for me.
For the genre that it is,
the great cast it has and the interesting and intriguing plot, “Black Bag” is
boring. And the story is unnecessarily complex, incoherent and complicated. And
this way it’s really difficult to stay engaged. The pace is very slow, the film
mostly consists of conversations. And there is nothing wrong with that, some of
my favorite films are very heavy on dialogue. But for this movie it works to its
disadvantage.
Probably the biggest
disappointment of the year.
Rating: 2,5/ 5
