Black Bag (2025), directed by Steven Soderberg
George and Katherine Woodhouse have a long-term, successful marriage despite both holding high level security clearance in the British secret service. Certain matters must stay in the Black Bag, meaning they can’t even be disclosed to each other.
George discovers that a traitor has stolen sensitive and dangerous information and there are five suspects, including his wife. Will he protect his country or his marriage?
This entertaining whodunnit echoes shows such as Spooks and Slow Horses in its cynical portrayal of the intelligence services and keeps the audience guessing until the very end.
Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett are sublime as George and Katherine and a very good supporting cast includes Tom Burke, Rege-Jean Page (not auditioning for James Bond), Naomie Harris (moving past Moneypenny) and Pierce Brosnan.
