I wasn't expecting such a good movie. I like how it wasn't too over the top, very real. Seemed hollywood didn't get a hold of it, thankfully. Phillipe and the main actor were both outstanding, one of their best performances of... Full review

I thought this movie would be a bit more of a spy/action movie, but it is simply the story of how America's worst spy/traitor was caught. The movie is a bit slow, but it is quite an interesting story. If you... Full review

Not a bad movie all in all, but I would have thought that the man who gave up so much to our enemies would at least have been an interesting person. This guy wasn't. He was boring, tedious, paranoid and all-in-all... Full review

An espionage story about a rookie FBI agent in the making attempting to bring down the biggest United States threat sounds like an incredibly exciting movie. Unfortunately, Breach has a whole truck-load of substance and not nearly enough style to be... Full review

Breach was a excellent movie. Chris Cooper was good while Ryan Phillippe was pretty descent. It was educational on the story behind Bob Hanssen, who betrayed many secrets of the U.S. government and costed billions of dollars.... Full review

Like "The Good Shepherd," "Breach" has an honest interest in the emotional cost of lying for a living, and the gray tones between black and white.
Similarly, director Billy Ray 's visual technique borders on the drab, and often crosses that border.

OK for kids my age: Y Reviewer: bubbo (15 years old), Date: February 19, 2007 Very good, a fascinating spy thriller that uses complex characters and subtle suspense to keep your attention instead of explosions.
Reviewer: Anonymous (16 years old), Date: March 03, 2007 I say: Very boring....... I was expecting a fun, exciting, action, thriller like all the reviews said.

Ray's approach is measured, as he takes time to explore the detailed investigation, and even though anyone with a knowledge of current affairs would be aware of the outcome, BREACH still succeeds in being an intelligent and very tense character study. ... Full Review
