Midweek Movie: Black Bag (15) (matinee & evening screening)

Adults £8 / Under 18s £2

What better way to take your mind off the cold mornings and darkening nights than a stylish, sexy, spy thriller! 

Playing like an update to cold-war classic Bridge of Spies, Black Bag is an elegantly crafted, impeccably tailored story of intrigue and deception. 

George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender), plays an MI6 spy tasked with investigating a group of his co-workers, one of whom has supposedly leaked top-secret code with the potential to destabilize a government. His main problem is that the primary suspect is his wife and fellow MI6 operative Kathryn St. Jean (Cate Blanchett). 

The two leads are masterful, contrasting their cold exteriors with a fiery chemistry and are backed by a stellar cast of chaotic personalities.

At a brisk 94 minutes, writer David Koepp (Mission Impossible, Jurassic Park) and director Steven Soderbergh make every second count, with smart dialogue and fluid camera movement keeping the tension high throughout.

Perfect for keeping the Autumn blues on hold!

UK Rating: 15
