Rogue Agent
This is a breakout role for James Norton, a mainstay of British detective series like Happy Valley and Grantchester. He plays a real-life conman who recruits vulnerable women by posing as an undercover M15 agent, supplying this diligently crafted thriller with a romantic and vengeful twist. The lines between rakish spy and dashing lover are blurred in his early entreaties to his victims as he presents an airtight cover story, an almost too-perfect alibi. Gemma Arterton is at her gleaming best as Alice– a would-be recruit who catches herself before stumbling down the rabbit hole.
