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.

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 Mar 14, 2025 Full Review 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. Mar 13, 2025 Full Review 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 Mar 13, 2025 Full Review Daniel Pemberton Spectrum Culture What does love look like in the age of mass surveillance, where everyone is already spying on each other? Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Stephen Silver The SS Ben Hecht Steven Soderbergh’s latest is a compact, very entertaining spy thriller. Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Simon Miraudo 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 Mar 14, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Wilfried 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 03/14/25 Full Review Roberta M It was a bit difficult to figure out what they were actually doing . Trust between liars is a difficult thing , who do you trust ? Whos on whose side ? Kept you engaged Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/14/25 Full Review Shar It kept me captivated. There were lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed it very much!
