Breach/Enttarnt

The FBI has found out that one of their secret agents is a spy for Russia. Robert Hansen (Chris Cooper) works for the FBI since 28 years. He is clever and better than a lie detector, he can smell when somebody lies at him. Agent Kate Burroughs (Laura Linney) sends Eric O'Neill (Ryan Phillipe), an overmotivated guy who wants to become agent, as the new assistent into Hansens office. He starts to adore the secret agent for his life, his attitudes his faith. He doubts he can do the spy job properly, till he finds out about the "real" Hanson. The movie is made after a true story, of course very american like, but no big action, no explosions, it´s about the relationship of the two men. I liked it though I wasn´t very impressed, it sometimes even becomes a little boring. I found it a little too superficial, the characters could have been worked out a lot better. But anyway, it is nice entertainmant.
