‘Black Bag’ Review: Michael Fassbender & Cate Blanchett Are Spies In Love In Steven Soderbergh’s Stylish Thriller


Read a review of Steven Soderbergh's thriller 'Black Bag,' which stars Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett as married spies trying to root out when a mole.

With an A+ cast at the top of their game, a tight 93-minute running time and dialogue with wit and bite, this finds the director with one of his best opportunities to do what he does so well and give that older audience a reason to go back to the movies. The fun of it all becomes also a sort of Agatha Christie-style cat and mouse game as George zeroes in individually on his suspects, and becomes especially alarmed by a movie ticket tossed in the trash that leads to suspicions Kathryn is keeping things from him. Title: Black Bag Distributor: Focus Features Release Date: March 14, 2025 Director: Steven Soderbergh Screenplay: David Koepp Cast: Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Rene-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Naomie Harris, Tom Burke, Pierce Brosnan Rating: R Running time: 1 hr, 33 minutes
