Breach

Just watch a Billy Ray's film, Breach, the story of Robert Hanssen's spying for Soviet Union and Russia.

Hanssen (Chris Cooper) is a FBI agent. The mole in the bureau who is wanted by the FBI. Kate Burroughs (Laura Linney) leds the team to nab Hanssen, the all time biggest spy in the America's history. Eric O'Neill (Ryan Phillippe) is been tasked to be the assistant for Hanssen and his main assignment is to bring Hanssen to be behind the bar. Soon, Hanssen become O'Neill mentor and friend. There are various exciting moments... the Palm Pilot, the car searching and the Rock Creek Park scene... .. it take lots quick thinking and cool acting skill to pull off those acts at that time by O'Neill.

Cooper has really put on a superb performance. It's a shame that I do not know who is Linney until I had watched Breach! Linney is another first-rate actress!!! Woww... .. This film has an outstanding cast in Cooper, Linney and Phillippe. Oh, and Caroline Dhavernas (O'Neill's wife) is kinda sweet .. yeah? The film is definitely been further enhanced by the splendid cinematography (Tak Fujimoto) and the marvellous music score (Mychael Danna). I suppose the music has play a big part in glueing me to sit through the film. Sit tight and enjoy the music score in the credit part :)

A true story.
