One ballsy man’s spectacular real-life scam that endured in the UK for nearly a decade makes for pulse-quickening escapism in Rogue Agent. This is a story so far-fetched that you’d have trouble buying it in a film unless it really happened, and such is the case here in a yarn that intrigues from the very beginning and only momentarily towards the end loses a bit of its footing.

The spy game can get complicated and thorny when love and sex get involved, and trust turns into dark betrayals. That’s essentially the set-up of “Rogue Agent,” a new IFC Films thriller starring Gemma Arterton, James Norton, and Sarah Goldberg, who many will recognize from “Barry.” The story is essentially about con men, seduction, and deception—a rogue agent (Norton), who masquerades as an M15 agent, and the woman (Arterton)—initially seduced by his charms—who brought him down.
