What to Know

Critics Consensus

Sleek in design and spiked with dry wit, Black Bag is an exemplary espionage caper that lets movie stars like Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender do what they do best -- light up the screen.

Audience Says

Blanchett and Fassbender excellently set up a play of intrigue in Black Bag, a solid Soderbergh entry that if challenging to follow at times, is mostly a satisfying match.
