http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/14/Breach--A-Satisfying-Thriller.aspx Ah, the phlegmatic Chris Cooper. Character actors are a dime a dozen in the City of Angels, and it’s a rare thespian who can reliably play so many shades in the moral spectrum; Cooper makes it look old hat. In the first few minutes of BREACH, freshly released unto the DVD masses, Cooper manages to squeeze a lifetime of hard work and frustration into an arched eyebrow, a pursed mouth and a sidelong glance at a parking space. Wait until he actually starts to talk.     BREACH is a throwback to an older movie style; despite its modern technology and setting, the storytelling tradition it evokes belongs to a more patient, pre-Bruckheimer and Bay era, where you could have a thriller without blowing crap up every five minutes or gutting someone with an array of tools that crosses the line into Home Depot porn. Based on the story of the hunt to catch the man behind the worst breach in U.S. intelligence history, the movie follows Eric O’Neill (Ryan Phillippe), who’s plucked from tracking duty to work closely with Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper), who O’Neill is told is a card-carrying member of the freakin’ pervert nation. As time goes on, O’Neill’s observations of Hanssen and his suspicion that his boss, Agent Kate Burroughs (Laura Linney), isn’t telling him everything lands O’Neill in an operation of a different stripe: Hanssen, he discovers, is a suspected mole, and it’s O’Neill’s job to help flush him out.     en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/14/Breach--A-Satisfying-Thriller.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/06/14/Breach--A-Satisfying-Thriller.aspx#684 I wanted to see this in theatres but never got around to it.

It was slow and dull, so beneath its actors. It was one of those that so many times you think about taking it out, but because of the stars you want to give it the chance to improve. I just wasn't impressed.
