I am more interested in how old foxes get into the cage, but unfortunately the film can’t tell you why.

After watching the film, I breathed a sigh of relief. I admit that I was so nervous that I grabbed my thighs every time Eric was about to show his stuffing. Seen from the side, this play is still worth seeing, but that's all. Some paragraphs make people want to fast forward.
Let’s talk about the two leading actors first. Needless to say, Chris Cooper’s skill is just like the DVD cover said, "Creating the deep city, unpredictable mind, and simple way of calmness, in a simple way, clearly organized, and just right." . It’s just that all aspects of the character’s style disgusted me, and I felt very depressed after two hours.
As for Ryan Phillippe, he was pretty good, and he had a good grasp of the details. His eyes played innocent and deceived the old fox.
After reading it, many people guessed the reason why Hansen was a spy, but they felt that it didn't make much sense. First of all, the reason may not be clear to the parties involved. Second, how do most people who are not in this industry know what the insiders think. This situation reminds me of a conversation in "Lu Xiaofeng" between Ye Gucheng and Wei Ziyun, the chief security officer of Ouchi.
Wei Ziyun said: "The city lord is outside the sky, swords are like flying immortals, and people are like flying immortals. Why bother to be demoted to the red dust and do such an unwise thing?"
Ye Gucheng said: "You don't understand?"
Wei Ziyun said: "I don't understand."
Ye Gucheng said coldly: "You don't understand this kind of thing."
We don't understand, nor does the director. So the film should have talked more about how Hansen revealed his stuff, but this part is also unsatisfactory. Anyway, I didn't understand Hansen at all for so many years.

    The story is too rough and too bland. Why does Ryan keep directing this kind of film, it's too wasteful

    It's actually pretty good. The little German wife is very beautiful, and it is indeed worth Eric to give up being an agent.

Breach quotes

  • Robert Hanssen: You know why the Soviet empire fell?

    Eric O'Neill: Good morning?

    Robert Hanssen: Godlessness.

  • Robert Hanssen: [first words on meeting] Tell me five things about yourself, four of them true.

    Eric O'Neill: I'm sorry?

    Robert Hanssen: It's a *game* we used to play, at the subanalytical unit. Keep ourselves sharp. It's lie detection.

    Eric O'Neill: Oh.

    [chuckling slightly]

    Eric O'Neill: I don't think I'd be much good at bluffing.

    Robert Hanssen: [rolling eyes and walking off] That would've counted as your lie, right there.
