Movies: Review: Breach

Summary


ON February 18, 2001, Special Agent Robert Hanssen was arrested by fellow FBI operatives, accused of treason against the country he vowed to protect. Hanssen was charged with selling classified, top secret documents to the former Soviet Union, jeopardising well- placed double agents in the KGB hierarchy, who were spying on behalf of America.

Writer-director Billy Ray's serpentine thriller recreates the massive surveillance operation to bring down devoutly religious family man Hanssen (Cooper) and to expose him as a traitor. Special Agents Dean Plesac (Haysbert) and Kate Burroughs (Linney) lead the internal probe and they approach 26-year-old agent-in-training Eric O'Neill (Phillippe) to spy on Hanssen and gather evidence of any wrongdoing.
