This story of Robert Hanssen, arch spy embedded in the FBI has all the makings of a fine story but it is oddly unemotional and cold. It has a fine performance by the always excellent Chris. Cooper but he is still not able to breathe much life into this script. Hanssen's motives are unclear and the trap the FBI sets up seems to banal that it just doesn't make one give a hoot. Laura Linney is also in this film and she, too, is a fine actor. It could have been a contender but.
