Black Bag

Movie 2025 94 min M Drama, Mystery, Thriller
AMU 16+ * Quality ★★★★☆

Our take

Black Bag is a talky Steven Soderbergh spy drama rated R for language, sexual references, and violence. A married spy couple faces betrayal when she is accused of treason. Expect dozens of f-words, pillow-talk innuendo, a stabbing, poisoning, and one shooting with blood spray

Uplifting themes

Loyalty and integrity are tested in a marriage under pressure Lead agents wrestle with duty versus love

Talk after watching

  • How do secrets in marriage compare to secrets in national security?
  • Who do you trust when everyone may be lying?
  • Spy stories often glamorize deceit. What are the real-world costs?
