Stvarni svijet se u "Pukotini", kao i u mnogo drugih slu%u010Dajeva, pokazao previ%u0161e kompliciranim za dogmatsku jednostavnost i nedostatak suptilnosti dana%u0161njeg Hollywooda.

Breach, a slow-burn thriller told from the inside out instead of the outside in, is not a great film. But it could have been. It will have to settle for being simply a very good film.

Cooper gives a great performance as a man now spending 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, serving a life sentence without the prospect of probation.
Sep 8, 2007
Enjoyable, slow-burning thriller with an intelligent script and strong performances from its two leads.
Aug 31, 2007
Breach is slow, but never ponderous, and not at all like your average spy thriller. It has less obvious thrills and more depth.
Aug 31, 2007
Breach rarely treads new ground, but the set pieces are used so sparingly and with such focus on the central characters, the movie reaches a degree of tension you might not think possible.
Aug 31, 2007
Cooper is always dead-bang on
Aug 31, 2007
A sombre game of cat-and-mouse. What it lacks in genuine tension it amply compensates in the understated performances of the two leads.
Aug 31, 2007
Intriguing and intelligent, Breach may be too understated for its own good.
Aug 31, 2007
An interestingly told tale: melancholy, thoughtful, and very un-American.
Aug 31, 2007
Chris Cooper, who won an Oscar for his supporting role in Adaptation, gives a brilliant poker-faced performance as Hanssen and Ryan Phillippe is also convincing as O’Neill.
Aug 31, 2007
Despite a couple of tense set pieces, the suspense needed to ignite this film is disappointingly lacking.
Aug 31, 2007
In the face of such a towering performance from Cooper, Phillippe keeps his end up while Laura Linney, as his handler, delivers the kind of turn we’ve come to expect from one of America’s finest movie actresses.
Aug 31, 2007
An effective and meticulous character drama, Breach doesn't quite make the most of its story but still tells a fascinating tale, aided by Chris Cooper's magnetic central performance.
