There's a lot to unpack in 'Black Bag' a witty, sexy spy thriller
Briefly

Black Bag, directed by Steven Soderbergh and written by David Koepp, showcases a sophisticated narrative involving a married couple, Kathryn and George, who are high-ranking agents at Britain's National Cyber Security Centre. The film revolves around a cyber-weapon, Severus, that has fallen into dangerous hands, suspected to involve one of their own. Set against a backdrop of suspense, the couple's relationship is tested as their trust is compromised, particularly when George hosts a dinner party, concealing from Kathryn that she herself is a suspect.
Soderbergh and Koepp's latest outing, Black Bag, combines slick production with a breezy intelligence, exploring trust and duplicity in a high-stakes cyber-espionage narrative.
