I am more interested in how old foxes get into the cage, but unfortunately the film can’t tell you why.

After watching the film, I breathed a sigh of relief. I admit that I was so nervous that I grabbed my thighs every time Eric was about to show his stuffing. Seen from the side, this play is still worth seeing, but that's all. Some paragraphs make people want to fast forward.
Let’s talk about the two leading actors first. Needless to say, Chris Cooper’s skill is just like the DVD cover said, "Creating the deep city, unpredictable mind, and simple way of calmness, in a simple way, clearly organized, and just right." . It’s just that all aspects of the character’s style disgusted me, and I felt very depressed after two hours.
As for Ryan Phillippe, he was pretty good, and he had a good grasp of the details. His eyes played innocent and deceived the old fox.
After reading it, many people guessed the reason why Hansen was a spy, but they felt that it didn't make much sense. First of all, the reason may not be clear to the parties involved. Second, how do most people who are not in this industry know what the insiders think. This situation reminds me of a conversation in "Lu Xiaofeng" between Ye Gucheng and Wei Ziyun, the chief security officer of Ouchi.
Wei Ziyun said: "The city lord is outside the sky, swords are like flying immortals, and people are like flying immortals. Why bother to be demoted to the red dust and do such an unwise thing?"
Ye Gucheng said: "You don't understand?"
Wei Ziyun said: "I don't understand."
Ye Gucheng said coldly: "You don't understand this kind of thing."
We don't understand, nor does the director. So the film should have talked more about how Hansen revealed his stuff, but this part is also unsatisfactory. Anyway, I didn't understand Hansen at all for so many years.

    The story is not enough acting to make up.

Breach quotes

  • [first lines]

    John Ashcroft: [news clip] Sunday, the FBI successfully concluded an investigation to end a serious breach in the security of the United States. The arrest of Robert Hanssen, for espionage, should remind us all, every American should know, that our nation, our free society, is an international target, in a dangerous world.

  • Eric O'Neill: [proffering his "five things about yourself, four of them true"] I won Boy Scout merit badges in every category except Rifleman. I haven't been to confession since high school. There are several words I constantly misspell. My favorite drink is a vodka tonic. And I'm the only male in the last four generations of my family who hasn't served in the military.

    Robert Hanssen: So what is your drink?
