In this movie review, I unpack "Black Bag" (2025), a sleek and stylish spy thriller from director Steven Soderbergh that proves the genre is alive and thriving. Starring Cate Blanchett, Michael Fassbender, Regé-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, Tom Burke, and Pierce Brosnan, this film delivers a sophisticated blend of tension, wit, and star power. "Black Bag" is a solid espionage flick that trades explosions for sharp dialogue and intricate plotting—here’s why it’s worth your time in 2025.
"Black Bag" centers on George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender), a top British intelligence agent tasked with uncovering a mole within his agency, the National Cyber Security Centre. The twist? His prime suspect is his own wife, Kathryn St. Jean (Cate Blanchett), a fellow spy with secrets of her own. As George navigates a web of deception, their marriage becomes the ultimate battleground, with supporting players like Regé-Jean Page’s enigmatic Col. James Stokes and Pierce Brosnan’s commanding Arthur Stheiglitz adding depth to this cerebral thriller.
