It further illustrates how this is one ofSteven Soderbergh’s best movies.

Most of the records will still hold even ifBlack Bag’s score dips a point or two over time.

The 97% score Soderbergh’s movie received is the same as Brosnan’s record high on Rotten Tomatoes.

This putsBlack Bagin a tie withThe Long Good Friday.

He’s only credited as “1st Irishman” for the film.

If the score ticks up to 98%, then there will be a 16th record it can claim.

That makesBlack Bag’s acclaim somewhat of a rarity for Pierce Brosnan.
