Rogue Agent is a spy thriller with a bit of a difference.

Theres no actual spy in this movie.

But most of all, its just a highly watchable spy flick.

And as each new twist unfolds, just remember this is all based on an almost unbelievable true story.

However, none of this is true.

Robert is a conman with zero ties to the British secret service.

And once she starts pulling at that thread, everything quickly untangles.

Its two leads, James Norton and Gemma Arterton, have an easy chemistry.

Perhaps the movies biggest fault is that its overly lengthy.

Clocking in at almost two hours, a tighter cut of the movie could have had more momentum.

In the middle portion, things drag as Roberts scheming becomes a little repetitive.

There are only so many times you might watch him spout honey-laced lies before its become less effective.

This feels pretty appropriate, to me.

This is a thriller movie worth watching, but its certainly one Id rank among the genres very best.
