 |  |  | BREACH |
Based on the true story of Robert Hanssen, the infamous FBI spy who sold secret documents to the Soviet Union over the course of 15 years, the project will center on the relationship between Hanssen and Eric O’Neill, the young FBI agent assigned to work for Hanssen just weeks before he was arrested.
BREACH has received excellent reviews from the US press:
“Put Chris Cooper in the running pronto for next year’s Best Actor Oscar. He’s electrifying as Robert Hanssen…maximum suspense...steadily gripping hothouse of a thriller…”
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
“…a wonderfully taught cat-and-mouse thriller. Chris Cooper…ought to be remembered as one of the year’s best come December.”
-- David Ansen, NEWSWEEK
“Cooper's performance as this character is nothing short of astonishing: it encompasses a rigid posture, a snappish disposition and a careless contempt for agency protocol…. a very good movie: subtle, complex, bleakly funny at times, but always utterly enveloping, one of the great studies in profoundly abnormal psychology.”
--Richard Schickel, Time.com
“Two Thumbs Up”
-- Kevin Smith and Richard Roeper, EBERT AND
ROEPER AT THE MOVIES
“In a tense, crackling tale, Chris Cooper turns a double life into an intense whole.”
-- LOS ANGELES TIMES
“Filled with tension, deception and bravura acting, ‘Breach’ is a crackling tale of real-life espionage that doubles as a compelling psychological drama. One reason for "Breach's" strength is that Ray (as witness his previous "Shattered Glass," the tale of a serial fabricator who wrote for the New Republic magazine) has a gift for this kind of thing….it is Cooper as the infinitely complicated and contradictory Hanssen who dominates ‘Breach’….Cooper has a great gift for bringing a fierce reality to his characters, and his bear of a performance here more or less leaps off the screen and throttles you. As much as we thought we knew how good an actor this man is, ‘Breach’ makes us think again.”
-- Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES
“One of the strengths of ‘Breach,’ a thriller that manages to excite and unnerve despite our knowing the ending, is how well it captures the utter banality of this man and his world. Mr. Ray’s unapologetic seriousness is one of the film’s strongest assets.”
-- Manohla Dargis, NEW YORK TIMES
