#BREACH 2007 MOVIE#

Basically if the premise intrigues you, I think you will enjoy watching Breach.Īs for the Blu-Ray itself, this appears to have been the second release of the movie on Blu-ray (2020 Universal, 2021 Mill Creek Entertainment). The movie is really helped by the cast as the acting in the movie is quite good. In a lot of ways the movie is what you would expect from a story about double agents. The story is compelling though as you want to see how it will end. The story is kind of predictable especially if you are familiar with the true story that it is based on. Much of the story is built around finding evidence about the target without being caught. It is never a highly exciting movie, but it does tell a compelling story. If you were only interested in Breach since you thought it would be an action packed spy thriller, you will likely be disappointed with the movie.Īfter its slow start, Breach does pick up quite a bit. This means that the movie does start off kind of slow until the investigation really kicks off.

This involves going through the process of getting enough evidence to bring down a double agent.

Instead the movie is more of a crime drama/thriller focusing more on being a spy in the real world.

If you are looking for a movie with a lot of gun fights, car chases, or other action sequences you won’t get it from Breach. While the movie is about spies and the US intelligence services, it is not a particularly action packed movie. I will say that Breach is the type of movie that is not going to appeal to everyone. There appears to have been a couple minor changes, but nothing major that changes the main story. Some of the specifics of the case might not be entirely accurate as some elements of the story were probably never revealed to the public due to security concerns. Based on my limited research it seems like the main story seems to be pretty accurate to the real story. After watching the movie though I was curious how accurate the film was as the true story genre is well known for stretching the facts in order to try and tell a more compelling story. I will admit that I didn’t know too much about the true story behind the movie before watching Breach as I was a teenager when the story originally broke back in 2001.

Eric must match the wits of a veteran double agent in order to finally bring him to justice.īreach is based off the true story of Robert Hanssen and the effort to bring him to justice for his past leaking of US intelligence to the Russia. The FBI decides to put a new agent, Eric O’Neill, undercover as Robert’s assistant in order to keep an eye on his actions. The story takes place in 2001 as the FBI becomes suspicious of one of their own, Robert Hanssen. Breach starts off a little slow, but it is an entertaining look at the effort it takes to catch a double agent.īreach tells the true story of one of the largest security breaches in U.S. I thought the premise was intriguing though, and the movie received pretty high ratings when it was first released so I wanted to check it out. Originally released back in 2007, Breach was a movie that I had never seen before. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it brings more realism to the story knowing that it (or something similar) actually happened in real life. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I have always liked watching movies about events that actually happened in real life. One of my favorite movie genres is the true story.
