Steven Soderbergh's sleek spy thriller " Black Bag " is more a sizzling amuse-bouche than full-course meal, but it's simmered to perfection.

Fassbender has found a character almost as dispassionate and monotone as his assassin in David Fincher's "The Killer" Blanchett's Kathryn is kept more at a remove from us.

A former James Bond Pierce Brosnan drops in late in the film as Arthur Stheiglitz , the head of NCSC .

Brosnan is rageful and ferocious, chomping into both Ikizukuri (prepared live fish) and scenery.

All of the supporting players while they make up a fine ensemble are ultimately playthings in their game of love.
