I was really eager to check this flick but, to be honest, I actually ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. First of all, it was actually a fascinating story with a decent performance by Ryan Philippe and, above all, by Chris Cooper who completely stole the show. This guy is so underrated but fortunately, this time, he really had the opportunity to showcase his talent. Indeed,... read more

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- October 2017 (23 movies items)

" Showtime- 1hr. 50min. First Viewing Its hindered a bit by a somewhat bland lead character/cipher, but Breach is an otherwise strong spy-drama that leans into moral ambiguity by accentuating religion and faith in the world of convert espionage, leading to a surprisingly complete dramatic story. It also benefits greatly from an excellent performance from Chris Cooper, that's so nuanced that it creates the majority of the ambiguity that makes the movie so fulfilling.
