“Death of a Unicorn” meanders about without a sense of urgency, and even when the horns come out and the bodies start dropping, it never feels like anyone is all that worried about their impending doom. Nothing ever feels earned, so all of the payoffs – be it justice or reconciliation or redemption – all feel contrived rather than organic.

Sleek and sexy, “Black Bag” may not be the best of Soderbergh, but it is definitely one of the best films of the year and another welcomed thriller from one of the greats. It’s a film that respects you and rewards you if you’re willing to let it, and “Black Bag” is worth the engagement it asks for.
