The Secret Agent

In 1880s London, pornographic bookseller Verloc is a double agent for the Russian government, providing information to Chief Inspector Heat about a lazy anarchist organization. In order for the anarchists to be arrested, an act of terrorism must occur. So Verloc decides to set up bombs – which leads to tragedy – not only for himself but also for his family, including wife Winnie and brother-in-law, Stevie.

My take

A stylish thriller following a disillusioned secret agent navigating a world of espionage, betrayal, and moral ambiguity. Arlo delivers a world-weary performance as a professional caught between duty and conscience, perfect for viewers seeking sophisticated spy intrigue with psychological depth.
