[Movie] Black Bag

Excellent trailer. The overhanging plot is re-baked. Still, it's a watch.

 

I don't know how he does it, but Soderbergh always gets 20 A+ actors in his mediocre movies. More power to him. I just have never loved his stuff.

This particular movie is a genre and theme I typically love, however, so I'll probably give it a shot.

 

Mr and Mrs Smythe.

Magneto as an assassin. In a movie; blek bag. @Jontro

 

The commercial summarized the first two hours of the Soderbergh movie.

Now we gotta decide whether to pay for watching the last 30-45 minutes then claim to others that we felt kinda smarter to rationalize the ordeal.

 

Balderdash! Off the top of my head he's made some outstanding movies:

Out of Sight
Traffic
Contagion

And some very good ones:

Erin Brockavich
Logan Lucky
The Limey
No Sudden Move
The Informant

 

See, I was pumped for Contagion. Saw it in the theaters opening weekend. And I thought it sucked.

I thought to myself.... maybe I just need to watch it again. Give it another shot. Maybe I was in a **** mood or maybe I just didn't get it.

But, no. I rewatched it a couple years later. Same deal. That movie just didn't click for me. (I had the exact same viewer experience with Cronenberg's A History of Violence, which people seem to love. It just didn't work for me.)
