James Norton - what a chameleon

Interesting story about conman Robert Freegard, well played by James Norton.Handsome and amiable, Freegard is able to convince people he is a secret agent for MI6, isolate them, take their money, and take off.A slow-moving but disturbing psychological study, realizing this is a true story, Freegard's hold over these people is horrifying and thought-provoking. How the character of Rose lived in the street basically waiting to get into a new spy program - watching it was shattering.All the performances were good if underplayed. At the time of the film, Freegard had been released from prison, his life sentence amended, and was still swindling people. He has since been caught again.My biggest complaint is not with the film but the law - if indeed the definition of kidnapping includes persuasion using fraud to leave one's family, how was this overturned later?Norton is perfect and evil, about as far from Grantchester here as you can get. Always with a fake smile.

Better than expected

I went in to this with low expectations, for no other reason than struggling to find something that looked decent to while away a Friday night.How pleasantly surprised I was with the way it turned out. The story is engaging and difficult to watch in equal measure. Norton is brilliant as the protagonist, while Arterton is believable as the victim who realises she's been had. Rather than thinking the other victims are just stupid for being sucked in, you realise how understandable it could be.Credit to the director. This is a worryingly realistic portrayal and kept me engaged for the 2 hour runtime.
