Inspired by true events,
Breach is
a dramatic thriller set inside the halls of the FBI--the
gatekeeper of the nation's most sensitive and potentially
volatile secrets.
When young Eric O'Neill (
Phillippe) is promoted out
of his low-level surveillance job and into the headquarters
of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, his dream of
becoming a full-fledged agent is on the verge of becoming
reality. Even more impressive, O'Neill is hand picked to
work for renowned operative Robert Hanssen (
Cooper)
within "information assurance," a new division created to
protect all classified FBI Intelligence.
But O'Neill is quickly confronted with the true reason
behind his hire: Hanssen is the sole subject of a long-term,
top-secret investigation, a suspected mole made all the more
dangerous by the sheer global import of the information he
is charged with protecting. The Bureau asks O'Neill to use
Hanssen's growing trust and slowly draw the traitor out of
deep cover. Engaged in a lethal game of spy-versus-spy
without the benefit of a cover story or backup, O'Neill
finds himself fighting to bring down Hanssen before the
treacherous double-agent can destroy O'Neill, his family and
the nation they are both sworn to serve.
Following his success with the electrifying and acclaimed
Shattered Glass, writer/director Billy Ray explores more
deeply the disillusionment and questionable moral mentorship
of a young idealist in
Breach. The film is produced
by Bobby Newmyer (
Training Day), Scott Strauss (
Mindhunters)
and Scott Kroopf (
The Last Samurai). Universal
Pictures will release the film in North America and Kimmel
International will distribute globally.

This is a slow movie lacking any action
or basis in reality. If your expecting
to learn anything about why it happened
or see the darker side of Hanssen's life
(ie; the stripper he dedicated large
portions of his income too) forget it.
Its a mind numbing series of office
scene's; pointless supporting roles like
Avoid this one like the plague
--its a turkey
