Breach

This one tells the tale of convicted spy Robert Hanssen, played by Chris Cooper. It focuses on the two months just before Hanssen's arrest for espionage. It is largely told from the standpoint of a young FBI employee and agent wannabe, Eric O'Neill, played by Ryan Phillippe. O'Neill is tapped by agency higher-ups to act as aide for, and so be in a position to spy on, Hanssen.
I remember this case well, in part because it struck close to home. I was born in Washington, D.C. and still have relatives there. One aunt and uncle used to live near the Hanssens and they pointed his house out to me after the arrest. I quite likely saw this guy out doing normal suburban things such as playing with his grandkids or raking leaves in his yard.
There is theology in this film. But not a lot of redemption. Roman Catholic images and rhetoric abound, but none of that wussy post Vatican II liberation theology, thank you. The Hanssens are staunchly conservative. As in Latin Mass, head coverings and Opus Dei. In fact, with the possible exception of that albino assassin from The DaVinci Code, Hanssen is probably the most infamous and reviled person associated with Opus Dei.
Hanssen is serving a life term in prison for selling information to the former Soviet Union and Russia. His actions led to the execution deaths of numerous U.S. agents and operatives. His reason, at least as stated in the film, was pride, one of the Deadly Sins. He wanted to show he was smarter than his fellow FBI agents. The game of wits Hanssen plays with O'Neill drives much of the plot. In addition to a twist on the "good cop, bad cop" pairing, these two men are also good (read moderate) Catholic and bad (read overzealous) Catholic. One religious truism is "A convert is more zealous than the pope." Hanssen was a lapsed Lutheran before meeting his wife-to-be Bonnie.
Given the Opus Dei passion for penance, one wonders whether Hanssen has taken to wearing a hair shirt during his imprisonment. It seems highly unlikely he would be allowed a cilive, a chain with prongs Opus Dei members often wear around one thigh for mortification.
One lesson from this film and Hanssen's story: Sometimes evil is the leaf-raking, church-going grandpop down the street.
