We break down its sleek direction, gripping espionage twists, and the moral dilemmas at its core—loyalty to country vs. loyalty to love. With sharp dialogue and tense performances, does Black Bag redefine the genre or simply refine it? Tune in as we dissect the film’s strengths, its place in Soderbergh’s impressive filmography, and whether it lives up to the hype.
