Quite a good spy thriller with enough twists and turns but some bits stretch credulity. Foreign agents such as the Russian, Belova and the American, Dede happily running rampant, conducting operations around London with no British counter-intelligence following them. Really ? Adam Lawrence foils a would-be bombing as Chief of MI6 whereas his underlings had not a single clue - where does he get this level of intelligence as chief ? The Americans cottoned on that something is amiss with Adam's meteoric rise within MI6 with a few spectacular intel victories but the British establishment did not even notice ? Equally strange is Kara's continued access to the intel when she was booted out of the Russian intelligence long ago. Very hilarious was Kara the incomparable covert operative was apprehended by enemy agents walking straight up to her, whilst she was busy kneeling rummaging through her knapsack - she looked up only to realised that she's cornered. Also very funny that Adam's wife didn't realised that she was recruited by her friend, Dede to spy on her husband. Dede who was just passing through London to visit her long time friend, conveniently had a spy recording pen to give Adam's wife for that express purpose !!! Duh !!! Fun watching but don't think too hard !!!

"The Night Agent" is quite a thrilling spy thriller. But to enjoy it, one must possess a sense of disbelief. Spoiler alert ! The two assassins had ample opportunity to kill Peter and Rose after tracking them down but they opted to sit in their car outside and try to improve their relationship. Real ? Diane Farr's motivation to protect her President at all costs ( including committing treason ) is far fetched. And the most amazing of all is the ability of the Chief of Staff and the Vice-President to conduct covert operations without the CIA and the FBI having any inkling of them. I didn't realise they could ! I start to imagine the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of State....even the White House Press Secretary running their own little operations !
