The movie Rogue Agent, which is based on Michael Bronner's book "Chasing Agent Freegard," serves as a disturbing reminder that the greatest creatures imagined in fiction and folklore are nothing compared to the demons that dwell among mankind. In the case of the movie, it alludes to Robert Freegard, a notorious scam artist.

The plot centres on conman and imposter Robert Freegard (James Norton). He kidnaps, enslaves, connives with, and physically and psychologically abuses several people while posing as an MI5 agent hunting down the IRA. The movie provides a brief summary of his methods and his victims but avoids going into a story that explores how a cruel man thinks. The emphasis moves to one of his subsequent victims and how she uses the con guy to her advantage to turn things around.

All the significant warning signs are concealed by Robert's stunning good looks thanks to his charm and grin. While Robert establishes rapport with a group of university students and persuades them that he is an MI5 spy, the opening of the movie features a portion narrated by the incredibly brilliant Gemma Arterton, who explains the fundamentals of how a spy deceives others. He perverts the idea by misusing his position, preying on innocent people, and snatching them away from their loved ones and life while employing the methods of a rakish agent who would ordinarily be adored. He meets his match in Alice Archer nine years later (Arterton).

Rogue Agent is skillfully written so that Robert Freegard never has the upper hand in the story. That authority rests with Alice Archer and the struggle she faces in order to exact revenge on the man. The story is presented as fictional, despite the fact that it is based on the true account of how Freegard tricked people, kidnapped them on false pretences, and used physical and sexual abuse in the process. A woman takes back control of her life, finds peace of mind, and exacts retribution on the attractive monster who cheated and mistreated her.

In the suspenseful cat-and-mouse game Rogue Agent, a devastated lady is propelled by her unquenchable thirst for vengeance against a despicable man. But since it takes a measured approach, the story can develop in an engrossing fashion that thoughtfully takes into account the feelings and destruction left in Freegard's wake. The movie does the exact opposite of what most people would anticipate. The creature is not romanticised. Instead, it undermines who he is and immediately places control in the hands of a strong woman who is not willing to give in or play the victim.
