Breach (2007)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: Technicolor/1.85:1 110m
Director: Billy Ray
Cast: Chris Cooper, Ryan Philippe, Laura Linney

Synopsis:

True story of the most damaging spying episode in US history, centring on the rookie FBI operative who is given the unenviable task of spying on the smartest and most paranoid spy to be found anywhere: Robert Hanssen.

Review:

Detailed and absorbing drama, which admirably avoids the pitfalls of turning its subject into a thriller. The film's abiding interest lies in an excoriating central performance from Cooper. The narrative's domestic trimmings are perfunctory and unaffecting; the key relationship is between the resourceful novice and his seasoned quarry.
