Black Bag | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Writer David Koepp and director Steven Soderbergh deserve a standing ovation for their commitment to economy in storytelling, economy in general being a very rare thing to be applauded for these days.

Its setup is quite intriguing. Its development is enticingly complex. Its conclusion is rather simple, but it so thoroughly delivers the tingles, that it still feels like a rousing success.

Black Bag is Soderbergh's best since claiming retirement a decade ago. It's so slick, and so cool, it takes me back to the Soderbergh of Out of Sight, Ocean's Eleven and Logan Lucky, while being nothing like those films as well.

Steven Soderbergh pushes the metaphor of the "black bag" to the limit.

A tight, taut and highly stylish espionage thriller.
