Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Black Bag actually is?

Honestly, Black Bag would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

Hot Take: Black Bag's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Everyone praising the Black Bag performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Black Bag?

Look, I wanted to love Black Bag. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

The cinematography in Black Bag is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Just got out of Black Bag and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
