Senior FBI counterintelligence officer Robert Hansen, a veteran of the intelligence community, has been analyzing Soviet intelligence for years, but has fallen into it himself, becoming a double agent.
Hansen's twenty-five years of experience in the intelligence community has also cultivated extraordinary skills. In this film, several places show its amazing memory ability, even if the object is only slightly moved and then restored to its original state, it will be seen through at a glance. Moreover, Hansen is a devout Catholic, and therefore has a strict life standard, and can't even tolerate women wearing long pants ("There is only one Hillary Clinton in the world is enough"). Of course, under the constraints of strict guidelines, desires cannot be vented, and the other side of the extreme will inevitably be squeezed out - perverted pornography.
A bright spot in the film is Dennis Haysbert, a black actor. He doesn't have much of a role in the film, but he still feels that daring charm (like his performances in "24 Hours of Terrorism" and "Secret Ops").
Interestingly, China is mentioned in the film. In the past two years, China has been often mentioned in European and American films, both good and bad, which more or less reflects the expansion of China's influence and the strengthening of its national strength. This time, it was Chinese food that was blamed. The line probably said, "Even Chinese people don't eat Chinese food every day."
In the film, the reason for Hansen's mutiny is not specified. When he was arrested, he only made two assumptions when confronted by the movie star "Dennis Haysbert". I think these two assumptions point to the depths of Hansen's heart. Hansen, in the twenty-five years of his intelligence career, was tired of bureaucracy and the rigid system. After the end of the Cold War, he was gradually shelved. He is looking for an exciting life and a challenge commensurate with his abilities, and the FBI is exactly what he is going to challenge. On the other hand, he also hated this shackled system. To break through it, he had to give him a fatal blow and expose his shortcomings. Or, he consoles his moral sense with such reasons. In short, the mixture of the two mentalities is the reason for his treason.
At the end of the film, Eric O'Neill asked his boss if he could take away Hansen's favorite automatic pen. The boss just said "You deserve it." A gentle sentence, full of deep friendship, after all, he found the most powerful spy! When he leaves the headquarters, he walks past the new computer in the hallway (it was Hansen who let him not have to fill out the form and wait, and get the new computer directly, which was the first thing he did for Hansen), then I saw Hansen in the elevator again. This detail is intriguing.
