Our Kind of Traitor (Susanna White, 2016)

A chance meeting with a defecting Russian money launderer, super-hammy Stellan Skarsgård laying on an extra-thick accent, plunges the couple of innocents played by Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris into a web of spy business with the Russian mafia after them and MI6 (mostly represented by Damian Lewis, channelling Smiley) vacillating about whether to take the defector and his family in.
There have been better examples of source material from John le Carré than this offering and while the outline remains feasible, ramping up the violence, making the villains - the aforementioned mafia, British politicians taking bribes - so obvious and basically serving up The Man Who Knew Too Much with modern trappings doesn't really add up to anything which demands attention or to have been made at all. It goes through the motions competently without ever actually becoming gripping.
