This isn't an action thriller by any means. It has more in common with the cerebral CIA birth film, The Good Shepherd, than, say, The Bourne Identity. On the other hand, one could say that by focusing on the overall life of Robert Hanssen, this isn't a run of the mill spy film. Either way, it's not as compelling as it could have been.
Director Billy Ray has ten films under his belt as writer, but this is his second outing in the director's chair, having debuted with Shattered Glass. His screenplays include Flightplan, Suspect Zero, Volcano, and Hart's War. Breach also stars Dennis Haysbert (President Palmer from 24), who appears yet again as a government "man."
