Chris Cooper gets an amazing script that focuses on the psychological espionage film instead of an action-thriller. While not as convoluted as Le Carre movies, this rather more straight forward spy movie is filled with great acting with an emphasis on the complexity of human behavior, nuances that promote the talents of its characters. Chris portrays Robert Hanssen in a densely rich performance that he captures in both his narrative and silent expressions on screen. There are two great psychological moments in this film that substitute for the physical actions and special effects of other movies. One of the best movies of 2007, Chris deserves another performance nomination for this one.
