FlixChatter Review: BLACK BAG (2025) – Soderbergh’s sleek, sexy spy caper makes the most of its impressive ensemble cast
Steven Soderbergh is a prolific filmmaker and he’s also a talented jack of all trades, one of those rare directors who’ve done cinematography, writing, editing, etc. I have to admit I haven’t always kept up with his work; the last film I saw that he directed was The Laundromat in 2019.
