Haha You see new releases so much quicker than I do, so when I saw you’re note on how “sexy” it was, I had to hold off reading your review until I saw it… Black Bag is veery sexy. Very mature. I loved it!

S.S. Is definitely one of my favorite working directors and one who’s work I can’t wait to analyze and study more in depth.

But you? Excellent review dude!

I watched them back to back. 'Black Bag' obvious critic winner, but 'Presence' is damn underrated. The camera work of the latter was found in the intro to the former. Hard to choose which was my favourite.

Fassbender with black turtleneck looks quite like his turn as Steve Jobs [didn't read this through for fear of spoilers but will return once I've seen it.]

I totally agree with you. It's a brilliant film and a fantastic character study. Anybody walking in needing action might be disappointed as this is 007 without all the fast-paced, unnecessary, and silly bangs and booms. But what you get instead is a razor-sharp, cerebral thriller that is thoroughly engaging and thrilling, nonetheless.

I also really liked the film. No frills and still entertaining. Fassbender and Blanchett are a perfect match.

Great review! I'm very excited about Black Bag. Have you watched the Mr. And Mrs. Smith show?

It's a lot of fun, I'd imagine it's adjacent to this (at least somewhat).

I like to imagine that Geena Davis and Samuel L. Jackson were a couple in 'Long Kiss Goodnight', the most underrated action movie.
