Breach is a nerve-wracking thriller. Based on a apt sage, its characters are nearly archetypical, a fact that gives the film, along with its extensive good ambiguities, haunting power. Here, it’s impossible to bag away from the great themes: religion, sexuality, psychology, and professionalism are at rotund and merciless play.

The film is space and character-driven, without any special effects gloss. Most of it consists of dialogue between Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper) and Eric O’Neill (Ryan Phillippe) . O’Neill is assigned to preserve tabs on Hanssen, providing detailed reports to Kate Burroughs (Laura Linney) . Mysterious deadlines loom, and Hanssen, a former of Icy War politics, is a tad suspicious of all the goings-on. Hanssen and O’Neill proceed from room to room, place to situation; each scene adds a layer of suspense. Further, both men have bright and complex apt selves. These selves are illuminated via startling combinations of beliefs and personality traits.
Cooper is unbelievable as Hanssen. To my mind, he’s one of the most bewitching of today’s male conceal personas, communicating a visible emotional depth and intensity that’s fraught with used edges. Ryan Phillippe subtly and thoroughly transforms himself through mannerism, explain, and expression. Linney’s Burroughs is, on the surface, as hard as nails; a more complicated personality is suggested when she delivers a few moments of much-needed humor, without which the film would be unbearable.

Director Billy Ray has made a film that’s polished from begin to conclude. He and the screenwriters relate the yarn dispassionately, clinically; they give it an ambiance of objectivity but delay final revelations and easy summaries. Tak Fujimoto’s photography is fair true, particularly during that bridge sequence, when we gather a sense of how quietly and in what solitude people can be betrayed. As a whole, the film has a spirited, music-like structure.
The whole thing is unforgettable, and the extras on the DVD are astronomical. Descend into the suspense, but have a comedy ready to spy afterwards.
I served as a peek for CIA on three clandestine tours, and one of my headquarters tours was in counterintelligence, where I got to know unbiased how un-seriously CIA takes that topic. The dirty petite secret at CIA is that Ames was not the only traitor, a impress novel career trainee gave up ten or so of our Soviet agents in situation, all killed. In this movie, the distress that Hansen did is severely over-stated, and the facts of the matter are not as they should be, but I mild give this a five star rating because the movies is absolutely top notch on the personality details.
This movie is distinguished safe to The Estimable Shepard. The only other stare movies that really approach conclude are those featuring Alec Guiness as George Smiley.
The reviewers that cannot understand motive will never understand spys and traitors. One line in this movie really grabbed me–in it, Hansen talks about how “the US can be likened to a powerfully built but retarded child.” Throughout the movie, Hansen is cast as a devout even obsessive Catholic who cannot win people inside the FBI to realize how vulnerable they are, and ultimately I would effect from the movie that the motivation may have started as a desire to present a point, then a dead burn into addiction–making fools of those that would not listen.
The movie misrepresents the clerk as counter-spy. The FBI actually caught Hansen by going through his trash and finding the one notice that he failed to demolish. Composed and all the individual depictions, from the hardened solitary female senior special agent with no one in her life, not even a cat, to various others, are top-notch. Especially meaningful to me is the depiction of the loving wife that becomes suspicious and then unloving because she confuses her husband’s loyalty to duty and secrecy with inattention and being scorned, and of course that is rarely the case. Spies need loving trusting wives.
This and “The Falcon and the Snowman” are first rate. Anything with Alec Guiness as George Smiley is first rate. For amusement I like the more novel James Bond films, the Smiths, and Just Lies.
