Rogue Agent

It maybe well acted but the first half was slow and the rest lacked passion despite various attempts to generate some. Sufficient to just keep one interested but left with a feeling of - so what, next.

I found it hard to believe the shear stupidity of the characters in this movie. While i get this was based on true events, gullibility doesn't really cover it. I get that some people can sound convincing, but when a lawyer is presented with information that is easily proven or denied, then WTF... his name was an alias that couldn't be corroboated...he's an agent but when his name is searched there is no backstop to avert prying eyes...really...c'mon.

I’d have loved to watch this on a 3 episode series to get more details. I like James N for that I enjoyed the based on real life story. I didn’t like the acting of the main female character. Could have been better but overall was good and story keep me interested.

Utter dross. Totally implausible from the get-go. Described as 'Inspired by a true story', the red thread that links the reality of the Freegard story to this pitiful effort is stretched beyond breaking point. A slow start, and a storyline that doesn't stand up to even a modicum of scrutiny. Thin gruel indeed. Steer clear.

It feels like there aren't any stakes, even if what's happening here is weird and sad

Interesting story. Good acting. Intriguing and enjoyable.

An engaging movie that is a biopic of one of the most despicable con artist you will know about. Definitely worth watching, but its very slow to get into and the rewatch ability is not up to par compared to other films.

3.5 stars; The performances by Robert Norton and Gemma Arterton were sterling. They took a Hallmark Mystery story (actually a real life story) and raised it to a first-class Brit Crime Drama.. Something the Brits do with regularity.. Norton was so good in his role that I was 'conned' for the first half of the movie. And, Ms. Arterton was so compelling that we were hanging on with her to the very end for her revenge.

I have watched the documentary miniseries about Freegard before so I expected not to enjoy this so much, however it told a very different part of the story and was actually a good movie.

Norton is good as a true to life psychopath that poses as an undercover agent in order to fully ruin people's lives and take their money. But, you don't hate him as much as you should, and the tension built to finding him and trying him is lacking.
