Breach

Tom's Recommended Film of the Week

Breach

Breach
is not your ordinary espionage film. These spy's are decidedly ordinary seeming people, but as with all covert types most everyone has a secret.

The cool, calculated nature of Chris Cooper, playing real life FBIagentRobert Hanssen, offset by the edgy on the wire performance of Ryan Phillippe as undercover FBI operative Eric O'Neill, sets the pace for this battle of wits film. Laura Linney, DennisHaysbert and Gary Cole (of office space fame) offer excellent support to the story as higher-ups whose true intentions are unclear. Skills and loyalties are tested; motives and truths are revealed while the viewer enjoys this game of cat and mouse.
