MovieFan reviewed Breach (2007)
Breach
Shattered Glass Director Billy Ray, tells the true story of the greatest security breach in U.S. intelligence history. The movie in some parts were a little slow, but by the end of the movie, turned out to be a pretty good watch. Well casted and acted, Breach is one of those cat and mouse like thrillers. Chris Cooper is at his always brilliant best.
