Movies with cinematographer Steven Soderbergh

During the Spring of 1990, I remember being transfixed in front of the television set for an hour each Sunday night over a period of five weeks. The occasion was the "Masterpiece Theater" presentation of the British mini-series "Traffik", a comple...

Black Bag belongs on an Endangered Species list – a spy thriller that relies on uncovering motivations and unraveling narrative knots to generate suspense. There’s nary a car chase to be found nor a shootout to dodge during the course of this ...
