Got it in the bag

In the high-stakes world of global espionage, a black bag is a clandestine operation to gather intelligence, which may involve bypassing security to gain access to privileged information.

Characters in director Steven Soderbergh's picture are trained to deceive and they run black bags on each other. Loyalty to king and country should come above everything - but when a target turns out to be the person you married, any victory is a potential loss.

Black Bag is an elegantly constructed spy thriller with deeply satisfying narrative twists that slowly feeds big-name actors into the emotional wringer and relies, almost entirely, on incendiary dialogue to inflict mortal wounds.
