My wife and I went to see "Breach" at Tinseltown this rainy Saturday afternoon.This is an excellent movie based upon the true story of Robert Hansson a high FBI official who was a Russian spy. Hansson played by Chris Cooper was arrested in 2001 after working in counter intelligence for the FBI for 25 years. He basically was in charge of preventing the Russians from spying on the United States and was in fact a spy for them. The movie covers the two month leading up to his arrest. Chris Cooper gives a wonderful performance and makes you almost like him. Hansson was a person full of contradictions. He was a very strict Catholic and a family man who sold out his country to the Russians and secretly taped his sexual relationship with his wife. The movie focuses on the the relationship between Hansson and a young clerk who the FBI used to spy on Hansson up until his arrest. Much of the movie was filmed in Washington DC and having spent some time in DC it was fun watching places I have been. If you want car chases don't go to this movie this is a thinking person spy movie. I give it 5 *****.
