The story is fascinating, and if interested one should watch" "Puppet Master" on Netflix for a "truer" account from (some of) the horses mouths. Of course the 2 main characters have to be played by really good looking actors, which sets it apart from reality. The character Alice is a blend of several women and the ending is a fiction. At least "Puppet Master" gives you insight into the post prison continuation of the sociopath's trail of deception and cruelty.
Yet it is entertaining enough, but it's failing is in not getting close to the minds of the victims. How do people get so bamboozled? Oh wait: Trump!

Clearly I was expecting a different watch based on the title, but was pleasantly surprised when the story started unravelling. Newb filmmakers Adam Patterson and Declan Lawn co-wrote and co-directed, and aside from slow pacing (especially the first half), they put together a nice suspenseful film. The last half got crazy tense and wow, what an intense true story this was. James Norton and Gemma Arterton played their roles great. Had the pacing been a little faster and/or the 115 min runtime trimmed down to around 95 mins, this film would've been near perfect. If anything, just watch it for the mind-boggling story from true events.
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.

I already have watched the documentary which was a real eye opener. Admittedly the film covers how Robert Freegard was tracked down one of his victims. The acting by Gemma was a bit wooden and I know she's better than this performance. The film lacked atmosphere so I am assuming it didn't have a big budget.
The ending was completely different from the real life ending which took place in an airport.
Overall it could have been a lot better with a bigger budget.

Most of the reviews are very negative about this film . Don't see why
I was hooked from the first , the fact this is based on truth and after seeing it I can faintly remember it .
The story here is far worse than anyone could ever imagine and that the conman could be so unscrupulous.
I felt the story kept you watching from the first minute hoping for a good end . I felt it was well put together and did exactly what we hoped .
Well worth the watch.
