Breach DVD Review


Breach: Based on the true story of Robert Hanssen, an FBI agent who was convicted of being a spy for the former Soviet Union and Russia. Hanssen is played by Chris Cooper and ultimately he is the reason the film is so wonderful. He brings tension to the story from the time he appears on screen to the final shot. The script does not try to cover the whole picture, instead it focuses on the last couple of months when the FBI was near to closing the deal. In order to catch Hanssen "red-handed", they set him up with a new assistant – Eric O’Neill, played by Ryan Phillippe. I am not a fan of Phillippe, but in roles such as this one (and in Crash) he works. The film sports 0 action sequences, yet I found it to be a very tense, nervous watch. Bottom Line: This is a very well told story with an outstanding performance from Chris Cooper!!!
