It's thanks to Chris Cooper's portrayal of the highly intelligent, deeply religious Hanssen who is so convinced of his own righteousness that he doesn't recognize he behaves like a sullen child that Breach is worth watching. [Full Review]

A smart and highly competent spy movie; Ray makes no attempt to tug the heartstrings or pump up adrenaline with overdone action sequences. It's a textbook model of allowing good acting and writing to create tension and interest. I'd definitely recommend this.

this movie is so underrated! chris cooper should have won an emmy or something for his performance here. ryan phillippe does a great job as the hero and laura linney is really good in her dead serious role. the story is brilliant and really keeps people on the edge of their seat.

Makes the mistake of focusing on the bland Phillippe rather than the great Cooper -- we're given next to no insight about what makes Hanssen tick, and in the end the whole thing is a waste.

It was honestly very, very good. No silly action or ridiculous side plots, just a very, very good spy movie. Chris Cooper is absolutely amazing in this film and I wouldn't be surprised if this is the role he's remembered for. Ryan Phillippe is also very good and I firmly believe he deserves credit for his performance as well.

A pretty good political thriller with solid performances except for Dhavernas' accent. I can't say anything was especially impressive but without any real weaknesses it makes for solid thoughtful entertainment.

Very well executed story, good acting work from Chris Cooper and I always appereciate the strong acting of Laura Linney. Ryan Phillippe's got much to learn. Unfortunately I was not much keen of this kind of story. Pacing of the story was okay.

Chris Cooper shows why he should have more starring roles, as his performance has everything to do with why this movie was engaging, dramatic, and smart.

A suspense different. It has no big scares, the suspense is all on account of empathy with the characters and expect to know the truth.

it sort of sucks when a film neglects its villain's psychological makeup when that psychological makeup is its only real calling card. still pretty watchable though, chris cooper's good.

Very good espionage trill with some good camerawork and a story that's built very good. Chris Cooper is superb but also Ryan Phillippe is outstanding. It's a powerful story and if you know that it's also a true story, it's even more extraordinary.

If you're looking for hardcore action, this is the wrong movie for you. If you on the other hand are looking for a really good thriller, you might be on to something here. Although a bit slow at places, "Breach" provides great suspense and during some parts it really sucked me in. Copper provides excellent, down to earth acting and Phillippe ain't too far behind. A good movie.

There's relatively little insight into the life of Robert Hanssen, the history he has had, and how he has effected the United States within this movie, which proves to be a bit disappointing. That being said, Chris Cooper is terrific and the film is competent enough to entertain the entire way through.
