Just one week before it's due to hit the ඣbig screen, Steven Soderbergh’s new spy thriller Black Bag has landed stellar first reviews.
Many critics are praising Black Bag, which currently sits at a near-perfect score of 93% on , for being a rarity in modern day cinema. "Black Bag is the kind of movie we don't a𒀰lಞways get in theaters anymore: a brilliant spy thriller with A-list talent and a sharp cinematic scale," said Bill Bria from . Hoai-Tran Bui from stated, "Steven Soderbergh has made the first great movie of the year."
.The leads’ performances haven't gone unnoticed either as David Gonzalez from said, "Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbenꦑder’s chemistry is intoxicating as they bounce off David Koepp’s crackerjack dialogue with effortless precision."
But it sounds as though not everyone is a fan, as ’s Jonathan w𝔍rote that it "manages to be just a watchable movie that isn’t strong enough to recommend, despite some 𒈔subtle chemistry between the two lead actors."
Boasting an all-star cast including Blanchett, Fassbender, and Pierce Brosnan, Black Bag "is a gripping spy drama abou෴t legendary intelligence agents George Woodhouse and his beloved wife Kathryn," as per the official s🍒ynopsis. "When she is suspected of betraying the nation, George faces the ultimate test – loyalty to his marriage or his country."
Black Bag is directed by Soderbergh and written by Jurassic Park’s David Koepp, alongside Alex Parkinson and David Brooks. The moviꦐe also stars Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, and Tom Burke.
