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.

Amy Nicholson

Los Angeles Times

Spy games are merely a bit of lingerie tarting up a story about trust. Call it “sex, lies & videotape & guns” — and a sign that Soderbergh doesn’t have faith in today’s audiences to be interested in that kind of thing unless someone might get shot

Manohla Dargis

New York Times

Sleek, witty and lean to the bone, a fizzy, engaging puzzler about beautiful spies doing the sort of extraordinary things that the rest of us only read about in novels and — if we’re lucky — watch onscreen.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

This is a movie made by and starring artists who clearly love the genre, and aside from the technology, one could see this playing in theaters and pleasing crowds in the 1970s.

Rated: 3.5/4

What does love look like in the age of mass surveillance, where everyone is already spying on each other?

Steven Soderbergh’s latest is a compact, very entertaining spy thriller.

Movie Squad (RTRFM 92.1)

A sleek, sinewy and very sensual thriller that has a lot of fun playing psychosexual games with its stars, and us too.

Rated: 4.5/5

Short & sweet. Soderberg gives Koepp's screenplay an Oceans Eleven feel. A date night flick I can DEFINITELY get behind.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
