Even though this haunted-house-on-an-alien-planet movie is highly derivative, it is enjoyable for precisely that reason.
A standard-order revenge thriller – an okay action film with a lugubrious first half that perks up considerably past the one-hour mark.
"Black Bag" belongs on an Endangered Species list – a spy thriller that relies on uncovering motivations and unraveling narrative knots to generate suspense.

A no-holds-barred action-oriented epic that does not much care if it makes sense as long as viewers are amped-up and engaged.
There are times when "Novocaine" is a blast, but then there are the instances when it falls into the trap of believing the action scenes are more exciting than they actually are.
Anderson has almost completely dispensed with a conventional storyline in service of a movie that delights in parodying seemingly anything and everything.
