Review of Breach (2007) by Dan T — 08 Mar 2013
"Breach" is a tense and slow-burning political thriller that boasts an outstanding performance from Chris Cooper as Robert Hanssen, the man responsible for the biggest breach (known to the public at least) in U.
S. government history. Ryan Philippe plays Eric O'Neill, the young FBI agent who is tasked with observing Hanssen and plays a large role in ultimately bringing him down. Both leads are very good here and Cooper brings an intensity to the screen that will leave on-edge.
Though the film has been out for awhile, I hadn't seen it until recently and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. If you're a fan of political thrillers give this one a shot.
