It’s more claustrophobic than “Flightplan,” more suffocating than being in prison, and we never know if or when one “prisoner” might act against the other with deadly intent.

Ray and cinematographer Tak Fujimoto play all this against a backdrop no fictional spy movie would ever tolerate - drab, florescent-lit corridors and a spartan office, Eric’s cramped apartment, Hanssen’s larger, overstuffed home and an occasional respite on the wintry streets of Washington, D.C. A rookie agent is promoted to a job inside FBI headquarters working for a respected senior agent (. Will he read the spy planted in his midst? What damage will this assignment do to Eric’s relatively recent marriage to his wife (Caroline Dhavernas), who is not so crazy about all this Catholic mumbo-jumbo from these two men? Watch the movie trailer for Breach starring Ryan Phillippe. Hanssen declares his greatest ability is that he can “read” people. Eric must figure out this enigma of a man whose strongly held beliefs and sentiments seemingly run counter to his secret life. The movie boils down to a character study where the stakes couldn’t be higher. (Curiously, he actually was, certainly the least of his sins.) His handler, special agent Kate Burroughs (Linney), comes clean when Eric complains that Hanssen is too devout a Catholic, loving grandfather and gruff straight arrow to be a porn fiend. But the film starts off on an odd note when Eric, pulled from a routine surveillance assignment, is told to spy on his new boss because he is a sexual deviant who might embarrass the bureau. Ray and writers Adam Mazer and William Rotko, who wrote the early drafts, apparently stick pretty close to the facts of the case.

history, yet such is his esteem for personal loyalty that he may well kill Eric should he discover his “disloyalty.” There are several sequences of high tension in “Breach,” but the key is that over that two-month period the betrayals cut both ways: Hanssen is one of the worst betrayers in U.S. He co-wrote “Flightplan,” a thriller aboard an airliner, and wrote and directed “Shattered Glass,” a story of a different kind of real-life betrayal about a New Republic staff writer who fabricated stories. Writer-director Billy Ray feels handpicked for this assignment too. With this solid cast, “Breach” should appeal strongly to male adults and possibly beyond if given strong marketing that emphasizes the true nature of these crimes and betrayals. Meanwhile, Laura Linney nails the role of a career agent who has sacrificed everything for a job whose ideals grow more vague with each passing month. Ryan Phillippe has just the right gung-ho determination tempered with a touch of naivete as O’Neill.
