Starring Chris Cooper as FBI agent Robert Hanssen, Ryan Phillippe as FBI operative Eric O'Neil, and Laura Linney as agent Kate Burroughs; Breach tells the true story of how the greatest espionage breach was captured.
Agent Burroughs brings in O'Neil to spy on a fellow FBI agent Hanssen. They believe Hanssen is giving information to America's enemies.
It's a cat-and-mouse game to see if O'Neil can out fox Hanssen.
What makes this movie even better is the fact that it's based on a true story - one that happened 7 years ago.
Hanssen seems to be a great family man. His family is very Catholic (he goes to Mass whenever he can and every Sunday), his grandchildren love him and his involved in his community. But there's another side to this man; one you'll have to see for yourself if you choose to see this movie.
O'Neil is trying to become an FBI agent and thinks this assignment may be his chance. But things get very confusing for him once he and Hanssen become friends...who do you trust?
There is some language and a scene of sexual conduct that, frankly, I thought didn't need to be part of the story at all. No body parts are shown, but it just didn't seem to fit with the story.
But having said that, I think Breach was a great film and an amazing true story.
