Breach...fascinating

Breach is based on the true story of Robert Hanseen, a veteran of the FBI found guilty of the largest US security breach. In the film, Hanseen, played by Chris Cooper, is on the verge of celebrating 25 years of service as a FBI agent, all the while he is selling vital government secrets to the Russians. The FBI learns that he is a traitor and possibly responsible for comprising 100s of lives and disclosing information that is critical to the survival of the US, its government & its administration. Agent Kate Burroughs, played by Laura Linney, will stop at nothing to secure a portfolio of incriminating evidence to put him away for good. She commandeers Eric O'Neill, played by Ryan Phillippe, an ambitious, yet naive newbie to the FBI to become Hanseen unsuspecting assistant and track his every move in order to build an air tight case.

GO SEE Breach, it is surprisingly suspenseful, and having the opportunity to briefly peak behind the veil of the FBI and CIA is fascinating. In addition, both Cooper and Phillippe have compelling performances. (110 minutes, PG-13)
