Legacy (2013 Pete Travis)

Interesting premise - 1974: Charlie Cox is briefed (by an unfriendly Simon Russell Beale) to make Russian friend Andrew Scott defect, but finds out his father was working for the KGB. He also falls for married Romola Garai. Paula Milne has adapted Alan Judd's novel, not without inconsistencies. With Geraldine James, Olivia Grant, Christian McKay.

Well acted but extremely irritatingly shot and directed e.g. zoom in then zoom out of character in long shot for no reason.
