ReviewsEntertainment Weekly - A true-life tale of duplicity gone secretly insane..., News Of The World - Brilliant, Variety - BREACH absorbingly zeroes in on how the FBI nailed the most damaging turncoat in American history, New York Times - A thriller that manages to excite and unnerve....[Mr. Cooper] rouses our curiosity but never solicits our pity. It's enough that he and Mr. Ray make this monster human
Additional InformationChris Cooper (ADAPTATION) gives a remarkable performance as complicated and bitter FBI agent Robert Hanssen in BREACH. Hanssen is a computer specialist who, after 25 years of service, is put under surveillance as a suspected sex offender. Eric O'Neill (Ryan Phillippe, CRASH) is the ambitious young upstart they put on the job, assigning him to pose as HanssenÆs new clerk in order to win his trust and keep an eye on his every move. Eric is dismayed to be put on such low-priority detail, accustomed as he is to investigating high-profile terrorism suspects. His reluctance is multiplied as he gets to know the subject of his inquiry; Hanssen is at first harsh towards his young secretary, but as he opens up, Eric gets to know and respect him as a family man of strong Catholic faith. Soon, however, Hanssen is infiltrating Eric's personal life and causing problems between him and his wife, Juliana (Caroline Dhavernas, HOLLYWOODLAND), and just when Eric is about to give up the case, he discovers that it is much bigger than he ever imagined. Eric finds himself in the middle of an investigation into the biggest security breach in US history, forcing him to resort to dramatic and ingenious tactics in order to bring down the suspect. Director Billy Ray's first directorial effort was the dramatisation of the Stephen Glass scandal at the DC magazine The New Republic in SHATTERED GLASS, and here he once again turns his eye--with great success--to a true story with a complex villain. Cooper's excellent characterisation invites pity and horror in equal measure; his performance is well supported in this character-driven thriller by Laura Linney (KINSEY) as the hard-nosed agent leading the investigation, and Phillippe as the resourceful and introspective O'Neill.

Breach : Factual espionage movie
Probably not a film for lovers of blockbuster movies , but if you like spy movies based on fact then this is for you. Great acting by all ,especially the underated Chris Cooper playing the contradictory lead Robert Hansom. Watch the movie unfold and wonder....what motivated him ???Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Kevin - difficult development issues as told in domestic environment.
It addresses important developmental issues in kids. Kevin is found to be relatively unsocialisable though I'm ignorant of how much this all correlates with professional psychologists' interpretations.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
