Breach

Chris Cooper gives a riveting performance as Robert Hanssen who caused the biggest security breach in the history of the US intelligence in this chilling and cold film. The tone of the film is as cold as it gets in this psychological thriller that tries to shed some light on the motives behind the crime. The film begins in the last two months of Hanssen's life before his arrest through the eyes of Eric O'Neill who was assigned as his assistant. Obviously the true story behind the film is the real star of this somber film. Ryan Phillippe and Laura Linney round up the excellent cast. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
