THE SECRET AGENT (1996)

Cast

Plot

Dark tale of political intrigue and multi-betrayal, adapted by the creators of "Dangerous Liaisons" from Joseph Conrad's novel. Hoskins plays a seemingly mild-mannered English shop-keeper, who's actually spying for the Russians. But his true allegiance is put to the test when he's given an order which will have disastrous consequences on the British public. Downright downbeat.
