For those of us who love some espionage on an evening, this is a decent effort. It's not at the same level as Slow Horses, or even Homeland. But it is not bad. It engages the senses. The pacing is great, there's rarely a dull moment and the story moves forward at a decent pace. But it is a silly story. Quite implausible. And that's the Night Agent's undoing. It would not have been difficult to run this through a brief reality check and adjust the story to be a little more plausible. And it leaves the viewer with a slightly bewildered aftertaste, having relied on a cluster of Hail Mary character actions to round things off. If you have a need for some action and espionage and have nothing else on your shelf, have a look.
