The Ipcress File

During the Cold War, a former smuggler reluctantly enters the world of espionage. When a British nuclear scientist disappears, he must draw on his underworld connections while navigating a dangerous undercover mission and uncertain loyalties.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like stylish Cold War espionage, morally uncertain heroes, and detailed period settings, especially The Honorable Woman or A Spy Among Friends; Not for you if you want nonstop action or simple plotting.
