Review of The Bag Man (2014) by Tammybishop — 07 Mar 2014

A moody, neo noir thriller, set in a dark and stormy motel, The Bag Man was captivating and tense from beginning to end. There were strong performances from the actors, both John Cusack and De Niro were well cast and had a great chemistry, with De Niro as the boss and Cusack as the bag man.

Also excellent were the supporting cast with Crispin Glover in an appropriate role as the weird desk clerk at the motel. The plot twists and action make the movie very gripping. There is also a dark, underlying comedic tone that really suits John Cusack.

Rebecca De Costa is great as the damsel in distress who knows more than she lets on.
