don't expect a film to replicate a story. Shakespeare based many of his plays on stories that became quite different in his skilled imaginings.
The biggest problem for me was the great hopes created with such a marvelous ensemble and the fact that the director/screenwriter couldn't come up with any memorable scenes.
This film is VASTLY inferior to, "The Ipcress File," starring the ridiculously young-looking Michael Caine: it is complex, yet understandable; very good actors with more than a few juicy scenes between them; and high suspense--- all three of which are missing from TTSS.
