Black Bag is a good little movie with good performances and a good script. Black Bag is also a bad movie in that it has a production budget of 60 million dollars for what is essentially a stage play.
Blockbuster franchise rehashes is a major factor as to why we get fewer and fewer original films with this pedigree. But equally so is Hollywood’s current inability to make a good little movie at a reasonable budget.
If we want original…
