Join Dan and Tom as they give you their no-spoiler review of the just-released spy movie: BLACK BAG. Our goal is to give you the information you need to see if watching BLACK BAG is worth your time and money. Listen to find out what they think.
BLACK BAG is a spy movie, not an action movie. What does that mean? Well, think of TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY or THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD. Those were spy movies, not action movies. BLACK BAG is not reminiscent of a James Bond or Ethan Hunt spy movie.
The cast is excellent with Michael Fassbender, Cate Blanchett, Tom Burke, Marisa Abela, Regé-Jean Page, Naomie Harris, and Pierce Brosnan.
Some of the topics we discuss include in this review are:
· How this is a different type of spy movie
· The Cast and their roles
· What movies may have influenced some of the scenes?
· The direction, cinematography, and production design
· What sets looked best
· Our favorite scenes (while not spoiling anything)
· The pacing of the movie
· And More …
We’ve also included some comments from other people who watched this movie when we did. They don’t all have the same opinion of this movie. Listen to find out what they say.
