Premise
The telling of how the F.B.I brought down the worst spy in U.S. history, Robert Hanssen.
Who should watch
Chris Cooper and Ryan Phillipe fans. Those who enjoy subtle acting.
Thoughts
This was a wonderfully acted film. Ryan Phillipe held his own playing opposite one of the greatest underrated actors of my time. Chris Cooper deserved a nomination for best actor. He was threatening and enthralling. It looked like his Hanssen character could read your mind.
The espionage story was well written and easy to follow. In terms of spy movies, it was pretty simple, but that was because this was not a spy movie. It was a great acting character film within a spy setting.
What I would change
Nothing.
