If only the movie had trusted Cooper's subtle performance, allowing that to convey the suspense. Breach (2020) - Bruce Willis sci-fi horror film If you’re a fan of sci-fi space horror like Alien & Event Horizon, you might find some enjoyment out of this. Breach Drama 2007 1 hr 50 min English audio PG-13 CC Buy or rent Inspired by the true story of the greatest security breach in U.S. On the cusp of fatherhood, a junior mechanic aboard an interstellar ark to New Earth must outwit a malevolent cosmic terror intent on using the spaceship as a weapon. Breach uses some predictable plot structures, including speedy crosscutting during a scene in which Eric must delay Hanssen's return to the office, a sensational showdown in the dark woods, and heavy-handed religious iconography to pass judgment on Hanssen. With Cody Kearsley, Bruce Willis, Rachel Nichols, Kassandra Clementi. Though Hanssen disdains most FBI regulations, he's adapted well to what he calls the Bureau's "gun culture." And though Eric mocks Hanssen's stiffness, he's also impressed by his sensitivity and religious faith.Įric's own betrayals appear to be heroic in a traditional sense, yet he feels terrible about his choices. But much as Eric embodies a stalwart, if fretful, morality, Hanssen remains a cipher, apparently untroubled by his lies and hypocrisies. Parallel investigations and multiple layers of deceit are galvanized by smart, taut, mostly understated performances. When fishing guide/filmmaker Mark Titus learns why wild salmon populations plummeted in his native Pacific Northwest, he embarks on a journey to discover. The film focuses on Eric and Hanssen's tight, tense association, as each suffers differently for the lies he's forced to tell. This successful production should please those with an appreciation for complex dramas with a basis in factual characters.īreach can't seem to get around the mystery that Hanssen presents. American-born Cinematographer Tak Fujimoto creates mystic images, while Composer Michael Danna matches his compositions and carries the moods. As always, the strength of the central performances will differ with each viewer’s attachment to those cast in respective roles but generally, all acquit themselves well, with Chris Cooper particularly eerie as Hanssen.ĭirector/co-screen adaptor Billy Ray thankfully avoids over-indulging in too much modern sensationalism - apart from the totally fictionalized, sexual perversions of the main character. That said, this production remains superior movie entertainment. While based on specific amazing facts regarding anti-American spy Robert Hanssen, many situations are fabrications of the screenwriter. Thanks to a friend’s recommendation I came late to this one and while constantly watchable (in fact quite engrossing) Breach is to be taken as a Hollywood product.
