Just finished watching Breached with McGill tonight - sat way to close to the screen (my seat should have come with a referral for a chiropractor) so I'm glad it wasn't an action movie. In fact, I was surprised at how little action the film had - it was definitely a biopic drama at the core.The film tells the "true Hollywood story" of the capture of the man behind biggest secrets breach in US Government history. It starts with the end of the movie and then goes back and tells the how - but it's always hard when the end of the story is given out in the beginning, since we don't feel any of the angst or questions that the characters face. We know from the first moment who is the bad guy and don't give into the facade the others must wade through.
Still though the story is compelling and the acting is above average. There's some useless rabbit trails of the plot and Ryan Philippe's head bump is sometimes distracting, but this is a fairly honest look at intelligence community and the devotion and patriotism of these individuals. There's a couple of leaps of believability in the film as well, but in the end, it is based on a true story so how can you argue reality.
Good show, timely film these days, I guess. B-
