Eric O'Neill's (Ryan Phillippe) dream of becoming a big-time agent in the FBI is finally coming true; he's been promoted to work with renowned operative Robert Hanssen (Chris Cooper). But O'Neill soon realizes that he's supposed to spy on Hanssen — a suspected traitor within the organization.
Breach is a perfect example of less is more. Based on a true story, the film's producers could have added a car chase or a gun battle that would have turned it into a conventional spy thriller. Instead, they concentrated on the characters to supply the thrills and suspense. Phillippe and Cooper are both great in the lead roles. Breach was released in February of this year. If it would've been released around the award season, one or both of the leads may have had a chance of being nominated. Jamie says "8".
